Picked up react in the last 5-6 years and looking at old class component examples confuse me to no end. I guess it’s just what you learned first.

  :) True. My first web development experiences were on AOL Hometown and reading people's 1337 scripts from dynamicdrive.com. DHTML! Updating PHP scripts over FTP! Shared hosting. Oh right, you meant React wise... yeah...

  I worked with class components first. Built a whole app in them. Now we’ve migrated to functional and I look back at the class based ones wondering how I ever dealt with that. I didn’t want to adopt functional, but let everyone make their own decisions on what to use, and now I’m very happy I did.

    Right. I don‘t understand the HN crowd. A Haskell thread every weak, tons of people arguing that <current year> will be the breakthrough of lisp on desktop, but they scream for OO patterns in their frontend frameworks.

      So why do you scream for OO patterns in frontend frameworks?

      Possibly the screaming for different things is being done by different people.
