Reading sentences such as 'Effects are an escape hatch from the React paradigm.' in the official documentation in 2023 while writing React since 2015 makes one depressed and angry (deprangry?): then how are you supposed to use this 'library'. Luckily they provide a firstName/lastName example, because that's all we use React for, no?, login forms and hello world todos apps.

As with everything, if you want to make an apple pie, make a universe: after all, the mistake was mine, starting to use React in 2015 instead of making my own language/framework, mainly because what I have today is already a bunch of highly idiosyncratic React utilities. If there is one hope with the large language models hype is to finally be able to code against a true common interface (the HTML/CSS/JS specification), and do it anyway you please, translating on the fly any third-party dependency.
