> In our observation, classes are the biggest barrier to learning React.
As someone who struggled hard with some aspects of learning react, i felt this to be the absolute opposite. Watching people to combine and spread logic over dozens of functional components, and drag in other external libraries like recompose to do stuff like lifecycle hooks, and using HoC's, just to avoid classes makes my head hurt.
> Only call Hooks at the top level. Don’t call Hooks inside loops, conditions, or nested functions.
I really don't like this, and to me this feels really finicky, and unfortunately the explanation doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy ether. While it is great they are adding a linter plugin for it, i feel like this is going to be really easy to shoot yourself in the foot, and feels like it is relying on behind the scenes magic too much.
