Or your backend template engine is weak. In Elixir, EEx used in Phoenix, every template is a function. It's not supper good, but it's component (I hate term "component" and prefer "function")

But a component is a function that satisfies certain properties, why would you prefer to not to be precise in your communication? Do you call squares rectangles because you hate the term "squares"?

In my example, it's very precise that a template _is_ definitely a function. And conceptually I still think of it as function.

For your example I'd call it "squares" not because I don't hate it, but I don't think squares has something to do with "component"
