I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
I don't think you need to start cranking out classes if you're using TypeScript (TS). Maybe you're referring to Angular code? I've written a lot of React in TS and just plain TS and rarely used classes.
Classes are not inherently bad, it's just that functional programming has become more popular these days.
I agree. And that's why I said that you don't have to use classes - especially with React Hooks. But what I'm trying to allude to in the article (and perhaps I didn't do a good job of it) is what I perceive as the general attitude of React/JS devs vs. TS devs. As with the friend that I described at the end of the article, I know some "JS guys" who hate classes. And yet, when those same guys switch over to TS, their class hatred seemingly melts away...

Yeah I agree. In typescript people are more likely to uses classed compared to js.
