Oh my, it is beautiful on the inside. Check out the source.

They're totally showing off the power of React component model even when it doesn't render directly to DOM tree: https://github.com/Flipboard/react-canvas/blob/master/lib/Su...

It's about describing nested side effects in time, really.

New job description for front-end web developers: 5+ years of designing game engines and optimizing rendering pipelines. If the joke is lost please go read about the similarities between react and immediate mode rendering systems.

Honest question, would studying immediate mode rendering systems improve my understanding of React's system of doing things? If so, do you have a resource I could use?

I don't know. Probably not but all abstractions leak so then again it might help if you have a second source on how things should work.

I don't have a list of resources.
