React is interesting. It takes something that we started out with, immediate-mode style UI programming, and brings it to something we have now, retained-mode UI (i.e. the DOM). History in our field loops...a lot.
Edit: I should note, on the last sentence, this may be done by a veteran developer who knows better but is trying to introduce the concept in a new light. It could also just be a developer figuring out a common pattern on their own. I've heard the actor model pattern was developed by several different people at the same time who were unaware of each others work. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
