I've been mostly using React from ClojureScript, via reagent and re-frame. I've mostly avoided the hype of hooks, except in interop where they've been a pain. And I second the sentiment of Mike Thompson, who says [0]: > Humans have a cognitive bias: "what is focal is presumed causal". > Political leaders know this. They like presenting good news themselves because they like to be "seen" as causal of good stuff, but they'll get a press secretary to deliver bad news. Movie directors know how to use this when framing their protagonists within the story. > Unfortunately, the React team have lost themselves in this bias. They keep trying to make the most focal part of the system (components) also be the causal part. Please stop doing that! It is a mistake. Events are what's causal - they embody the user's intent. > Just to be clear, I love React. What an utterly brilliant idea and great execution. I'm deeply grateful because, wow!, did it change things. It is just that I preferred React when it was only trying to be the V part of MVC. Everything since has been downhill.
