The Joy of Composition

Why stateless rendering is pure bliss

React just got stateless components, meaning that they are in essence pure functions for rendering. Pure functions make it dead simple - even fun - to refactor your views into more manageable pieces.

As the author of hyperscript-helpers and an avid user of Elm, I have fallen in love with functional UI composition. Inspired by @staltz's To JSX or not to JSX discussion, specifically this comment: "Most UI tree code should look small.", I would love to share the joys of applying functional programming principles into dynamic UI rendering.
