Functional Programming provides a great solution to this problem. You learn what a Functor, Applicative Functor, and Monad are, and then the concepts remain useful for the rest of your life. Below is an amazing blog entry on how to apply functional programming abstractions to build a UI without regard to the underlying implementation underneath (react, vue, dom, etc). https://medium.com/fuzzy-sharp/building-a-type-safe-embedded-dsl-for-form-components-with-validation-e7ffaaf537e4 https://medium.com/fuzzy-sharp/building-a-type-safe-embedded... For those interested, I've begun implementing these ideas in a more developed sense in typescript and purescript in this repo: https://github.com/dwhitney/intro-to-fp/tree/master/demo https://github.com/dwhitney/intro-to-fp/tree/master/demo
