Thing is, hook state looks like closures, but it's not the same at all.

The machinery behind the scenes might be ugly, but this syntax is also what I love about React Hooks.

I was preferring closures to ES6 classes before using React, despite the performance implications.

Since switching to TypeScript I also like ES classes though.

Especially for things like MobX... but even without it.

Regardless of React, I feel like classes are the context where getters and setters feel most natural and ergonomic.

And classes are great for grouping state and behavior in an easy-to-understand way.
