I'm really glad Perl was my first programming language back in 2000 and not Java or C#. The transition to Clojure was so much easier for me, not having done time in an OO prison. React succeeded in bucking the trend of OOP JS frameworks established by Microsoft and Google's promotion of Angular so they simply set their sights on converting JS itself into yet another OO monstrosity. Now we have none other than M$ as the major steward of Typesript and VS Code. As Lennon said, "Strange days indeed".
