> For me the introduction of hooks was amazing as it's allowed us to strip most of the redux state management in favour of managing state with hooks inside of functional components. We still use redux for global application state, but there are also hooks for interacting with that redux state too.

I stopped writing React around the time Hooks came out, but I used to use a similar pattern with higher order components. In particular, I preferred HOC for forms. From what you're saying it sounds like hooks replaced a lot of that HOC functionality. Are HOC still used at all?

HOC have mostly fallen out of favour due to hooks. Typing hooks is a little easier than using HOC because you don't have to determine the type of your props which could conceivably be a combination of multiple HOC and the actual props your component expects. With hooks your props are your props which you have a simple interface for and then the hooks can be typed based on their parameters and what they return like any other function.

HOC are the more lispy/dynamic way of doing it I would say and in Clojurescript using Reagent it has always been common to use that general pattern I feel.
