The one time setup mixed with repeated render calls is odd, but it's a design decision they made. It reduces boiler plate, though I don't necessarily agree with it because it is a leaky abstraction
- spankalee 5mo agoReactivity and functional programming are orthogonal though. And in most functional systems the one-time setup function would return the render function so the render function can close over state. Which is pretty much what a class with fields, a constructor, and a render method give you.
