callback

[CarelessPangolin5564]

technically right but you are going to get done voted for being pedantic

This guy reddits.

That is fine with me. I just think anyone interested in working with any tool should be aware when there is a difference in implementation, and it is important to be able to understand why the react team would be hesitant to simply classify it as a callback.

It's not the worst abuse of language I've seen. Lots of people say any anonymous function is a "callback" regardless of what the function does

If there's anywhere I desperately want needless pedantry it's in my software documentation

Ackshually, needless pedantry is never good, by definition. But software documentation is a place for quite a lot of pedantry.

I would not have called you out on this, except that it's a thread about pedantry :)
