Agreed. You see this a lot with people with a C# and/or Java background using TypeScript with annotation based decorators and libraries/frameworks that implement dependency injection, etc. They don't really embrace the nature of the new language and ecosystem. And I can sympathise, it is simpler to do things as you have been doing them before.

You also see it when people who've mostly done imperative programming tries their hands with a lisp or some ml based language. I've been there myself. You still find yourself using the equivalent of variable bindings, trying to write in an imperative rather than declarative style.

I guess when trying to learn a new language in a different paradigm you also need to unlearn a lot of the concepts from the former language.

Well, that is the reason why outside HN bubble, Angular still wins the hearts of most enterprise consulting shops, as its quite close to JEE/Spring and ASP.NET concepts.
