I work on React. We’d love to hear from your team sometimes and collaborate on this sort of thing. We’re solving many of the same problems but I rarely hear from Netflix engineers except at talks when announcing they’re avoiding React or have forked it, often for reasons we weren’t even aware of.

Did I miss something? I see some `measureLifecycleperf` functions in the react source but those look like dead ends.
