The New React Native Architecture

YOU SHOULD GO TO CHAIN REACT IT'S REALLY COOL (AND I GET PAID IF YOU BUY A TICKET WITH MY DISCOUNT CODE) www.eventbrite.com/e/chain-react-2024-the-us-react…

This will make EXPO even better

After some thought i realized Conference sponsorship is very good advertisement choice. I didnt know about the chain react conf and Im buying it now. Both Theo me and chain react won! win-win for everyone

As a react-native and react full-stack developer, it's nice to see the react-native team make such a wonderful guide of The New Architecture.And credits to theo for your interesting and in-depth content👍

The thing with the benchmark comparing the iPhone and Android Phone is, that the Pixel 4 was a low-to-mid tier phone while the iPhone 12 PRO(!) is a high-end flagship. Ofc android will be a bit slower because of java, but the real reason people think android is slower is that they compare their shitty low low-end android phone to high-end iPhones...

I did a POC building a React Native app which calls FluidSynth in the C++ layer to play a MIDI file using a sound font. What I thought was impossible now just works flawlessly (if you are ready to get your hands dirty with C++).

You're amazing Theo!, keeping us updated always, .You're my source for tech news!

Thank you for making this. You have become my favorite react-native hype guy!

The 2x performance delta shown in the benchmark matches the single core performance diff between the Pixel 4 and iPhone 12 Pro. Java is not at fault here.

man I love your videos thanks for all your work

Love it! About to do my first proper app and have some basic UI going in web, but plan to do native apps soonish. Won't need ultra performance, but I like good DX none the less.

This is glorious!

5:00 This honestly just depends on the implementation - there are things you'd want for different layouts/screen sizes that you can't do in CSS or that are more difficult to do in CSS, so sometimes a resize event listener from within a useEffect, or a useLayoutEffect which will re-fire when the browser repaints the screen

I have used React Native in the early days, and I still remember the many fights we had against jank. This was 5-7 years ago, around when Flutter came out. We eventually decided to rewrite everything in native, which solved many problems but caused a whole lot of different ones. This new architecture looks really amazing! Until now, when I was about to write a mobile app, I'd pick Flutter. But now, maybe not, I'd give React Native another try! Maybe even with ReScript – it's a shame that it's such an underdog.

This man has just been pumping out a lot of great content. A lot. The dedication 💪

It will be nice when the docs are a bit more fleshed out for codegen, etc. Right now, if I want to know how to work with it, I have to trudge through github projects for basic examples you'd expect in the docs.

As someone who's worked with the JNI, early Node native C++ modules, and WASM, the JSI looks incredibly promising! Thanks Theo, now it's time to dig into React native!

Thumbs up for the clever swift dig. :D I needed a good laugh this morning.

Best overview video!! You should do a series on multiplatform for web and mobile.. not a lot of things done on that yet..
