React was closer to elm during the times of stateless functions and redux. Since then it's getting further apart from elm.
Redux was kinda of a poor man's elm but it got the right principles. However the JS community hates boilerplate code so, new, more complicated abstractions appeared. Also, it was too easy, with redux, to shoot yourself in the foot.
Since then, with hooks, things are just getting harder and more complicated in my opinion.
