javascript - Are ES6 arrow functions incompatible with Angular?

Question

Here's a normal ES5 function in my Angular code which works:

app.run(function($templateCache){ $templateCache.put('/some','thing') });

I wanted to convert it to ES6 arrow function

app.run($templateCache => $templateCache.put('/some','thing'));

but it gives the error

Uncaught Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: '/some'Provider <- '/some'

Are ES6 arrow functions incompatible with Angular?

EDIT: I thought perhaps Angular isn't able to infer the name $templateCache and so unable to inject it but then I logged it to console and it does show it correctly:

app.run($templateCache=>console.log($templateCache));
// => 
//  Object {}
//      destroy: function()
//      get: function(key)
//      info: function()
//      put: function(key, value)
//      remove: function(key)
//      removeAll: function()
//      __proto__: Object

Correct. Your version of AngularJS is not compatible with arrow functions that make use of $injector.

This is mainly because AngularJS 1.4.6 makes use of (Function).toString, which does not start with function( for arrow functions, at least in Firefox:

>var a = () => 5
function a()
>a.toString()
"() => 5"  // not "function a() {return 5;}"

AngularJS supports the arrow notation from 1.5.0 onwards.
