Yes, there is additional js loaded to do that. In the developer console you get a warning. It may be a tad slower.
Are you referring to JSXTransformer? I thought that was deprecated?
As a C and then a Ruby on Rails programmer, I never thought I would see the day that my main programming language was Javascript. But I find React such an enabling technology that I made the effort to learn Javascript properly, and am glad that I did. React itself is allowing me to write web applications faster and with less bugs, primarily because of the unidirectional information flow, but also because of the way i…
Are you referring to native apps, or do you mean by making a Web app with React you don't need to make native apps?
I have tried to get in to React all week. The technology is easy, but it's Webpack that I'm having trouble enjoying. All I want is are two simple configs. A dev one with a server/hot loader, and a prod one that concats/minifies. ES2015. That's it. That just doesn't exist out there. It's either no decent production bundler, or it's like 15 files and 900 lines of configuration that seem completely overkill. I don't kno…

Project seems abandoned, no?
Other correct comments about a quite active 'next' branch aside... The latest commit on master is Nov 12, 2015 . That's not even half a year ago . The stable shelf life of software worth mentioning is longer than that, don't you think?

I'm working on a rewrite (for improving performance, modularity and for general house cleaning) and the github branch doesn't reflect that right now.
Are any breaking changes coming?

> That's not even half a year ago. The stable shelf life of software worth mentioning is longer than that, don't you think? I can see that you haven't spent much time in the JavaScript ecosystem. And forget latest commit, if a JS project wasn't started in the last half year, it's already getting long in the tooth. After a half year, trendy devs will already start moving on to the next great framework and package mana…
There is an abundance of poorly written react apps popping up everywhere. Go to netflix and search for movies... the experience is terrible. The search box lags typing by a long shot. So much so its almost impossible to type in the full text of a movie name. I'm sure there is the correct way to do this (not making the field a controlled component?) but the problem being there on such a major site is a sign that its h…
Although I like this a lot, and I think it addresses most individual nuggets of React Sadness in a pretty reasonable way, I am still sad. I am sad because every process rectangle in this chart should also point to a decision diamond that says: "Does it seem that the entire industry has migrated to this stack, whether or not it really makes sense for everyone to? That a feedback loop now influences shops to choose the…
It definitely doesn't make sense for all types of websites, but React seems to me like a solid choice any time a) a true web application is desired and b) maintainability, interactivity, and scalability are high priorities. React isn't the best choice for static informational sites and such, but I can't think of an application that wouldn't be well suited to React.
