Modern React and the case for Reactive State Management
summary
Claims that recent React features (hooks, Context, Concurrent React) do not remove the need for state libraries and demonstrates a working drag‑and‑drop demo with lines, server sync and sockets to compare approaches. Shows an observable mutable state (MobX + observable + observer) implementation and an immutable Redux/immer approach, measures behavior: mutable observables trigger fewer re-renders and simpler wiring, allowing externalized effects and easier testing. The demo runs and the mutable approach proves faster in the example.
