It's an amazing reflection on the velocity of the web & JS ecosystem that React APIs prior to hooks, which were shipped all of 3 months ago, can be sincerely referred to now as 'classical' :-)
- burrox 8y agoI think he means 'classical'as in class based. Just like you'd refer to 'classical' inheritance.
- davnicwil 8y agoYou might be right - I've never heard 'classical' used in that way, interesting!
- rich_harris 8y agoYou're both right — it's intended to be a slightly ambiguous low-key pun :)
