Great post Dan. Just out of curiosity - what's your goto approach for replacing examples like the SetIntervalMixin (https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/reusab

  I’d probably create a class that lets me schedule intervals on its instance, and call `this.scheduler.dispose()` in `componentWillUnmount()`. I don’t think accidentally forgetting to dispose of it is a big problem as it’s easy to catch in a code review. But if it concerns you, HOC could work for this as well. In the future, we might build some helpers for this into React itself.

    Yup - that's more or less what I've ended up with. Just wanted to hear you if you had a better solution at hand. It's pretty much an edge case example, as 99% of all this stuff fit perfectly into the HOC way of thinking. The remaining cases won't add any more context/complexity than using mixins do anyway. Thanks for all your hard work!

  You could write a pretty trivial component which takes an interval and method as props, and sets the interval in componentDidMount and cancels it in componentWillUnmount. It probably doesn't make sense to do a timeout that way...
