In this article, we'll dive into the details of Meta's investments and how they impact the React ecosystem.
Meta's mixed reality investments are a game-changer for React
React is not just a tool for developing user interfaces; it's an integral part of Meta's product development. The React team at Meta has partnered with both teams at Meta and members of the open-source community to enable these types of product and developer experiences. Over the past decade, the React team has added support for new platforms, investing in deeply understanding the idioms and expectations for user experiences on each platform.
React at Meta: A decade of innovation
Meta's engineers use React on every platform where they ship user interfaces, including web, mobile, desktop, and new platforms like MR. Each time the React team adds support for a new platform, the team invests in deeply understanding the constraints and opportunities of that platform. This approach has consistently benefited Meta's apps on other platforms, with user experience improvements in products like Facebook.com and Facebook Marketplace.
React Native at Meta: Improved startup and application responsiveness
The React team has also improved startup and application responsiveness, reduced battery drain, and taken major steps to enable code sharing across web and native platforms with platform-specific customizations. These wins have consistently benefited Meta's apps on other platforms, with user experience improvements in products like Facebook.com and Facebook Marketplace.
Meta's React investments: Improved user experiences across platforms
The React team continues to share these improvements with the open-source community, whenever they have built their confidence that they are stable enough for broader adoption. This approach has led to innovations like the React compiler, React 19, React Native's new architecture, and other performance improvements that are coming to Hermes.
Open-source innovations: Benefiting the entire React ecosystem
In conclusion, Meta's mixed reality investments are a game-changer for React, and the innovations that come out of these investments will benefit the entire React ecosystem. We're excited to see what the future holds for React and the impact it will have on the development of user interfaces.
