I helped write this post, so feel free to ask me anything about the New Architecture!
Where are the performance benchmarks (and comparisons with Flutter)?
I helped write this post, so feel free to ask me anything about the New Architecture!
First off, thanks for all the work! I have a few questions if thats ok: 1. What is the next thing that the team wants to focus on improving? 2. What are the performance differences between the old architecture & new one? 3. What are your thoughts on the fragmented state of rn wrt react-native-web/react-native-windows/react-native-macos? 4. It is quite difficult to know what supports RN vs what relies on react-dom. Is…
The next thing is to continue building on this foundation and fix some long standing issues things like scroll perf and text input. A lot of our focus has been on the gradual migration strategy for the new arch, so now we'll have more capacity to work on other things.
For perf differences, we shared some benchmarks here: https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-new-architecture/dis...
But perf alone doesn't really tell the whole story. In raw perf terms, flashing empty content for just one frame is only a few milliseconds, but user is disproportionally impacted by that flicker. The new arch allows us to fix those types of issue in addition to the raw perf wins.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Great, another one. Recently someone else was touting something called avalonia for .net? Then there are older ones that still exist, like Kivy and QT. These folks should be working together on just a few open-source projects :-D. Trying to support every mainstream platform is a huge undertaking and as mentioned in this thread, few succeed, and even fewer over the long term.
I think that's an absolutely reasonable reaction. I can only say that, as someone that primarily works on Android, I'll of course prefer Compose UI since it's technically the "native" solution for me already. And while reading further, keep in mind that my views are going to be biased towards Kotlin and such for that reason, of course. There's also the additional disclaimer that it's still relatively early days, and…
Did much of the JPC team get let go like the Flutter team in the last big round of layoffs?
Is Capacitor a viable solution yet? I saw this tweet saying "it just works" for porting a webapp on NextJS: https://x.com/marc_louvion/status/1836023560462360746
I'm a Flutter dev since 2018 and I am honestly not sure if Flutter or React Native still make sense in 2024 and onwards. When they emerged, the mobile development scene was completely different than today. Today, we have Swift UI and Compose, both are pretty solid. I'm not sure if it's the consensus amongst mobile developers, but I believe that on the mid/long run you will be better off - even if you write things twi…

By Compose, do you mean Jetpack Compose?
