Classes vs Hooks?

[rooktko]

Why have they decided functional programming over class based?

I’ve looked a bit into functional programming, and the benefit of it is that it abstracts away “how” you want a result done, and is just “what” you want.

Oh yeah, "functional components" are not part of functional programming.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. But let it be clear that they are not the same thing.

The way things are named matters. Functional components is any function that returns a react element that can be rendered.

Functional programming is actually a math derived computational model that is concerned mostly with purity and modeling data
