Even react is based on 4 decade old ideas; Component based programming (at least the idea of it) has been around since the 60's.

I wouldn't say components is the novel idea in react. For me the novel idea is continually generating the entire ui by applying functions to data. Previous component-based frameworks were about static declaratively-described ui's that where then bound to data, which is in many ways an inferior approach.
