Actually no. The single function and the separate get/set are by far the most common. The tuple that I use is super uncommon in JavaScript in reactive libraries except maybe some newer ones in React.
This was one of the ones I was super leaning towards the month before hooks came out. I was worried it was too clever using the function as the object to hang it off of. We used to use this pattern in KnockoutJS a reasonable amount of the time to add augmented properties. Generally, it was for attaching other observables and was called sub-observables. I found while teaching that to newcomers they found it weird.
What I liked was it was minimal. It only creates the 2 functions. Syntaxtually it kept the common case easy (get) and let you be explicit on sets. No weird doubling up, and about as minimal syntax. You would still name the variable as you like.
I'm not sure if I'd have landed on it over the MobX style but now looking back at it I would think I wouldn't have hesitated on that API if I hadn't seen hooks. I only came to respect the read/write split after I started using it. As I started playing with composition patterns and reading more academic papers.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
