We absolutely know it can be used well as a replacement for React. One thing we don't want to do is position it solely as a React replacement because then the unique capabilities of it get lost and we get into pointless flamewars about frameworks!

This exchange is why HN is great. :)

What is functional react? It certainly isn't using `useState` etc as arguably all those `useXXX` functions are not remotely pure. They do different things the first time they are called vs the second.

He probably means FunctionComponents (as opposed to Classes)
