React: You Might Not Need an Effect

The funny thing is that React already kind of has its own programming language: JSX. If they wanted to, they could add language features to support React. I expect that would be very controversial though.

Svelte is pretty pleasant, compared to React. It's fundamentally a JS-to-JS compiler that adds reactive assignments, and ridiculously much more usable than useEffectHopeThisWasTheRightThing.

    let count = 1;
    
    // this is reactive
    $: doubled = count * 2;
    
    function handleClick() {
      count += 1;
    }
