Agreed. You see this a lot with people with a C# and/or Java background using TypeScript with annotation based decorators and libraries/frameworks that implement dependency injection, etc. They don't really embrace the nature of the new language and ecosystem. And I can sympathise, it is simpler to do things as you have been doing them before. You also see it when people who've mostly done imperative programming tries their hands with a lisp or some ml based language. I've been there myself. You still find yourself using the equivalent of variable bindings, trying to write in an imperative rather than declarative style. I guess when trying to learn a new language in a different paradigm you also need to unlearn a lot of the concepts from the former language.
