Lessons From Adopting React Compiler
Akash Hamilwasia presenting at React Summit 2025, shares React Compiler learnings and works on an AI audio platform. Memoization in React helps optimize UI performance by preventing unnecessary re-renders. React Compiler offers automatic memoization through static code analysis. React rules emphasize purity and immutability. The compiler analyzes and memoizes code changes for optimization. React Compiler package usage improves performance through code analysis. Understanding reactivity issues is crucial for handling React state. Compiler optimization requires correct dependency arrays and usage of external libraries. Measure React Compiler impact using React Profiler for optimization and real user impact analysis.
