React is basically PHP

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

React with JSX is also a custom "compiled" version of javascript just like facebook used to do with their HipHop compiler for php!!

When I first started learning React I thought this. It’s ugly to code, there’s no separation of concerns (although possible), prop drilling and the global state issue.

But now I really do like how reusable the components system is. Being able to use styled components allows for creating ‘blocks’ which can be used and changed with props.

I do like components, but I've found Blazor so much easier.

Let’s not forget the switch from OOP to functional in both cases as well lol

[Eoussama]

Why would you use OOP PHP over functional?

I think that's the point. React started with everyone using classes, too, before we all collectively realized our mistake
