After almost 1 year, @dan_abramov gives fresh news about Suspense and ConcurrentMode.

- We see the light at the end of the tunnel.
- We don't have large "unknown unknowns" anymore.

Work has shifted to ecosystem compatibility & incremental migration path

github.com/facebook/react…
In React API evolution, @alex_frantic shows that React hasn't changed much conceptually.

2013 code can still work today by using a compat layer.

I've adopted React at 0.5.3 πŸ€ͺ didn't know there was React.autoBind, but have used LinkedStateMixin :)

frantic.im/react-api-evol…
Just discovered Piral, a framework for React microfrontends by @FlorianRappl

@DanteDeRuwe used it to implement a Netflix clone:
dev.to/dantederuwe/my…

Will have to study this more deeply to have strong opinions.
May play well with React >= 17?
React-Spring v9 has been released by @alecdotbiz

Lots of new features:
- platform packages (web,native,three...)
- unified api
- concurrent mode support
- deps arrays
- shorthand
...

If you never used error boundaries in React, @AdebiyiAL has a nice intro here:

blog.logrocket.com/handling-javas…
New mobile dev trend? => serializable apps.

@wongmjane noticed Instagram Lite's new native app uses something quite similar to React server-components, called Bloks. Also quite similar to the native Messenger app.

@ricmac has a good summary:

thenewstack.io/instagram-lite…
We can write JS code in multiple ways and it's not always easy to make a choice.

@laurieontech explains how 2 experts might make different choices and consider different factors.

alistapart.com/article/human-…
@MiriSuzanne and @Una announced that a CSS container queries prototype is now in Chrome canary behind a flag!

Can't wait for this to become production-ready!

vanilla-extract is the new CSS-in-TS zero-runtime library by @markdalgleish (author of CSS modules)

Inspired by Stitches (that released a beta).

Write .css.ts and use the power of TS as a CSS pre-processor: this code is eliminated at build time.

github.com/seek-oss/vanil…
A Deno company has been created!
deno.com/blog/the-deno-…

A seed round of $5m and some details about the open-source governance/revenue model.

@kitsonk also mentioned a Deno hosting service: deno.com/deploy
SvelteKit public beta: @Rich_Harris published a blog post.

Successor of Sapper, it is an equivalent of Next.js for the Svelte ecosystem.

Interesting details about the choice to migrate from Snowpack to Vite.

svelte.dev/blog/sveltekit…
Discovered tRPC by @alexdotjs

A toolkit to make the client/server API calls typesafe, using TS 4.1 template literal types.

Also has a react-query client.

The @reactjs core team published the state of their R&D about React Server Components, allowing to run some components on the server, and reduce the overhead of shipping some client-side code.

There's a video and a RFC here:

reactjs.org/blog/2020/12/2…
This is an illustration of what could be possible in the future.

Don't worry, React is not becoming like PHP, and it's not because you can that you should.

(In the same way, you could implement a React app in a single very fat component)
