Hi,

vRO uses Mozilla Rhino engine, version 1.7R4. It is compliant with Javascript 1.7, plus support for some features from Javascript 1.8 / Ecmascript 5. If I'm not mistaken, arrows were introduced with Ecmascript 6, so vRO doesn't support them.

More info on what's supported can be found on Rhino Overview page - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Rhino/Overview
