All of this tricky reasoning about what executed when - and what is closed over vs not - is challenging for most developers. The class version is the most straight forward by a wide margin compared to either React function components or Solid functions. I am happy writing hooks and figuring out the right way to express my effect conditions, but I read a lot of code that gets it wrong, and when I talk to devs they often don’t have as strong a mental model for lexical scope, lifetimes, and closures. Ultimately I think either function API is too subtle for the median developer I’ve worked with.
