> Calling hooks "traditional" in relation to signals seems fine, lest that word be relegated in time to whatever you in particular care about at this juncture.

"Traditional" hooks are 6 years old. I think it's to early to call it traditional. Given that literally everyone else looked at this "tradition" and chose differently. Namely, signals.

Signals were popularized by SolidJS, but SolidJS's Ryan Carniato will keep telling you that what everyone calls signals now has its roots in libs like KnockoutJS from 2010. And everyone has been busy using signals for the past three years.

Given the amount of frameworks that implement signals today (including monsters like Angular), it's React who's not following tradition.

I guess the bigger point is that we could offer the same charity to the OP that I'm lending you here in your use of the wrong "to".

There are meaningful critiques elsewhere in the comments about the piece with some semblance of charitable interpretation. We've elected instead to manufacture a snide, pedestrian haughtiness about wording.
