Why is React doing this?

I heard some points of criticism to how React deals with reactivity and it's focus on "purity". It's interesting because there are really two approaches evolving. There's a mutable + change tracking approach and there's an immutability + referential equality testing approach. It's difficult to mix and match them when you build new features on top. So that's why React has been pushing a bit harder on immutability lately to be able to build on top of it. Both have various tradeoffs but others are doing good research in other areas, so we've decided to focus on this direction and see where it leads us.

I did want to address a few points that I didn't see get enough consideration around the tradeoffs. So here's a small brain dump.

"Compiled output results in smaller apps" - E.g. Svelte apps start smaller but the compiler output is 3-4x larger per component than the equivalent VDOM approach. This is mostly due to the code that is usually shared in the VDOM "VM" needs to be inlined into each component. The tr

Parens And Performance

Years ago, some smart folks that worked on JS engines realized that not all JS that's loaded into a page/app initially is needed right away. They implemented JIT to optimize this situation.

JIT means Just-In-Time, which means essentially that the engine can defer processing (parsing, compiling) certain parts of a JS program until a later time, for example when the function in question is actually needed. This deferral means the engine is freer to spend the important cycles right now on the code that's going to run right now. This is a really good thing for JS performance.

Some time later, some JS engine devs realized that they needed to get some hints from the code as to which functions would run right away, and which ones wouldn't. In technical speak, these hints are called heuristics.

So they realized that one very common pattern for knowing that a function was going to run right away is if the first character before the function keyword was a (, because that usually m

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.
