> The main point of fuctional paradigm in engineering is composition over inheritance This isn't my goal with functional programming. My goal is to minimize side effects. I want code that is repeatable, consistent, and easy to test. I want front end code that's as close to a pure projection of state->DOM as I can get, because that makes all sorts of problems simply vanish (And the less state, the better!). I like hooks, mostly - but lets not pretend here... they're only functional if you don't look at the man behind the curtain.
