Thats the 1-sentence summary of FP, but there’s a lot more to it. Immutable data structures are part of it, although less important because of how props are scoped.
Composition, my friend. That’s the key. If your whole tree is rerendering whenever your state changes, it’s a failure to compose your components properly.
FP includes strategies for limiting side effects, relying on architectural patterns that push side effects to the edges of your application. This is a very sane way of working in react.
And a lot of prop drilling can be reduced by passing down closure functions with curried values in them.
