Forgive me for conparing frameworks and languages, but.

IMHO a person like that would love Elm. I use react, especially with Typescript, but it is full of leaky and competing abstractions. It has a "functional style" in the same sense as using map and lambdas, but IMO it is missing the elegance, consistency, and guarantees of a well thought-out system.

Luckily Typescript, nextjs, and the ecosystem make it one of the best options, but the hooks system is, IMO again, a hack.
