me: I need to make a simple web-app for a project
also me: I need to learn some react basics for a job interview

WHY NOT COMBINE THE TWO? good question, why not?

christ, the first example in the react docs has a minor error.

not giving me a good feeling about the quality of this software

@foone The whole thing is built on top of two massive anti-patterns (the order of calls to methods [useState and useRef, and thus nearly every hooks] changes their outputs, and implementing logic with exceptions [don't look into suspend too much]) and is so complicated to use correctly that they had to release a precompiler to make it bearable. Of course it's absolute garbage.

@kawazoe @foone yep.

I'm used to javascript being a language you have to defend yourself against while writing it.

Doesn't justify making needing to defend yourself a feature of a library.
