Why else would we have stuff like this? https://github.com/Izzimach/react-three As if ThreeJS is too hard or cumbersome without React. Or this: https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-game-kit Or this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-audio (a relatively unknown library, but it's surprising how often projects will import packages like this) I generally do what I can to avoid software snobbery, but it's examples like those that really cause me to scratch my head and exclaim "Why?" React makes sense when you actually have a DOM to deal with, but as soon as you start trying to write something that goes beyond that model, well, I really don't get you. ("you" being rhetorical) Generally, though, I think a lot of junior programmers or those new to React get very enthusiastic about it and try to solve whatever problem they can with a tool tha

t works well for them, and that does speak quite a bit to how good React is. In general, I would avoid using React for things it was not designed for.

> What often goes unnoticed is that declarative languages are not very future-proof [...] Surely that will not happen to React, you say, because it gets so many things right? Surely that will not happen to React, you say, because it gets so many things right? It is often not appreciated how simple React really is. Its simplicity is actually well suited to survive a long, long time. Forget classes, lifecycles, schedulers and all this stuff for a moment. If you boil it down what you're left with is but a single signature: `createElement(name, props, chilren)`. That's what JSX transpiles into. With that you can map pretty much every visual-oriented api on earth and as we can plainly see it goes further than that and starts rendering flat out everything that can be rendered in the same friendly manner we're used to: shell consoles: https://gi

React was released 4 years ago and has kept to a stable api. 16 was a rewrite, and it's a drop in replacement.
