Okay I looked and... I'm not sure why you think this example can't be accomplished with my alternate API. You can compose hooks the exact same way and use them in the outer constructor/HOC function. You can nest said functions to receive incoming props. I honestly don't want to spend the time explaining functions as values and scopes, unless you sincerely think that I'm missing a use case here.

I even looked again at my examples and I’m a little annoyed that I even bothered putting a string around my finger for this condescending exchange. I accounted for this case in my second example! Outer function takes props, hooks are a function that expand them. There’s your composition bud.

[nwienert]

Do your part and come back with an example that does the same thing in your syntax.

Don't be lazy and fool yourself into thinking you have a point because you didn't write it out.

I know what problems will come up and I'd like to see how you try and solve them. In the best case you end up with a more verbose syntax for doing the same thing, and in the likely case it will be brittle because you'd have to manually link the instantiations and re-runs, manually ensure you're calling things in order, and may even have to manually dispose things.
