But in React you never need to deep clone the object? The same principles apply to all the same breed of framework btw, vue/angular etc only updates what you r updating. You are supposed to make a new reference of the object but the fields of would be of the old references except the field you want to update. If you are deep cloning the whole thingy then the performance is actually worse because you r doing unnecessary updates. You could use spread operator to easily make a new object reference. Nowadays you have immerjs to do the grunt work for you
