Okay, that explains a lot. It is also ironic because React's rejection of FRP in its completeness has also spawned a very poor substitute they call Flux.

The number of Flux versions that have been churned out as a result is obscene. That is certainly not keeping it beginner-friendly, that is just leading developers astray.

While all the Flux activity may make it look like a lot is going on with React it has instead just wasted everyone's time and kept them from learning a key paradigm like FRP.



I'm not sure how Fiber Reinforced Plastic helps. Seriously, if you want to be understood, define acronyms.
