Comment on React 19 Breaks Async Composabilityparent

Comments

Functional Components are not functional in the sense of functional programming. They are shared mutable state.

Function-based components. They have vaguely functional aspects but they are not functional indeed. I think most people say functional because "function-based" is too long.

If I recall correctly we have stateless functional components (not managing any state). Functional in React should mean immutable state.
