I am learning to use arrow functions and the difference between using arrow functions and using functions, but I get the error when I put the word "this" in the function, because when I use "this" in the arrow function everything is okay.

I tried adding

"noImplicitAny": false,
tsconfig.json
but that didn't work.
this inside setTimeout refers to the function context, not to the hulk object. Arrow functions don't create their own context (their own this) since they inherit it.
