Unpopular opinion: @reactjs edition Bring it on

React code base, especially post-fiber, is extremely hard to grok, and the Facebook idiomatic code style is obnoxious af

What Facebook idomatic code style are you referring to? Dunno if you're making assumptions, or have seen that code style in other FB open source?

I'm making assumptions slash communicating imprecisely. It might be just React idiom, though based on my hazy memory some style choices, like usage of invariant etc utilities are shared across multiple FB OSS projects.

Stuff like invariant isn’t important. We actually wanted to cut that out. There’s some legit constraints (the way data flow is structured), some intentional culture (longer names, relatively large procedural functions), and some accidental stuff which can go (like invariant).
