RN 0.59 has been released yesterday. One of the highlights is 64bit support and new JavaScriptCore provided via jsc-android-buildscripts project that my team @swmansion took a part in. I'd like to shed some light on how this change may impact you and your app.

Did you know that old JavaScript VM shipped with RN was from 2013? You could've used a much more up to date version since summer 2017 via github.com/react-native-c… project (and many people did) – in fact if your app is based on @expo you are already using new JSC.
