#react forget

The Talk discusses React Forget, a compiler built at Meta that aims to optimize client-side React development. It explores the use of memoization to improve performance and the vision of Forget to automatically determine dependencies at build time. Forget is named with an F-word pun and has the potential to optimize server builds and enable dead code elimination. The team plans to make Forget open-source and is focused on ensuring its quality before release.

The Talk covers topics such as React memo compiler, use memo and use callback, building custom hooks, and the benefits of using use ref. It also explores the similarities between use memo and use ref, and the use of React Memo for preventing re-renders and optimizing expensive calculations. The speaker also shares personal information and contact details.

System-level state management in modern React applications is challenging. Usually, as the applications grow, the complexity of interaction between different parts of the application compounds. The more you need those isolated parts to talk, the higher the level of complexity. Usually, the common pitfalls of these communications are underestimated especially with the recent trend of State management that tends to keep the application state outside of React and distributed. In this talk, We'll see how the Actor Model architecture can come to the rescue and what makes it stand out compared to the other approaches.
