Any plans to update again to include React Server Components?

The flagship feature of React 19 is a "compiler", but doesn't seem to have the main features of Forget. (inferred effect dependencies) I'm guessing it's not coming any time soon.

#6Not a critic to the article itself, in fact I know nothing about React and learned a lot from the it, but...do we REALLY need all of this to render web pages? Even if it is a web application and not just a page, doesn't this ecosystem seem too complicated for the problem it solves?

These aren't just web pages. They're full applications with robust, rich state.
Web apps can reach the complexity of a desktop app with a GUI, a game, etc.
I say this as a mostly backend / systems engineer: there is an incredible wealth of complexity in the frontend. In user interaction, making and transforming API calls, and in UI/UX design.

#8ya'know, everytime there's a post with react in the title, I open it with the best positive attitude I can muster, holding back my knee jerk reaction.
I then read it, and come out thinking "why, why, why do people put up with this absurdity?" and always stop at the same conclusion, cz they don't know any better.
I then quietly move on with my life, sometimes leaving such comments as hints to those who might catch on.

What’s absurd about it? What’s a better option in your opinion? Asking as someone who mostly knows the React approach

So what should they be using, if they did know better?
