> React developers do not understand functional programming
As some sibling comments note, this is not a fair conclusion to draw. And not that it disproves your statement, but Reacts original creator Jordan Walke wrote the first React prototype in SML. Not understanding functional programming is not on the list of things I would ascribe to him. He's a smart guy.
On a slightly different note, I'd recommend anyone try out Reason. It's slowly maturing and can be a real joy, at least compared to JS/TS.
