Seems that time is running slower in the U. K. these days. As already pointed out, React 18 is not new at all. React 19 is soon to be released. Too bad its performance is just as abysmal as its predecessor. Well, at least it beats React 18. Just don't expected anything more from it.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! You're right, React 18 has been around for a while now. It's exciting to see how quickly React is developing, with React 19 coming soon. I wanted to talk about React 18's special features because many developers are still learning about it. They're interested in how it can make their apps faster and handle multiple tasks better. Let's hope React 19 brings even more good changes for everyone.
You and I have a different definition of "quickly". As stated, don't expect too good news in the performance area. I already saw preliminary test results. Yes, it is better than React 18, but still lies at the bottom of the performance charts.
Thanks José. I totally get you on performance expectations. Though React doesn't always focus on raw speed, I'm kind of excited seeing how the team has been baking developer experience and usability improvement on every release recently. Still, I wonder how they will balance that performance with those new features in React 19.
Although I understand you've written it for developers who are yet to migrate to React 18. I would suggest to change the way you're presenting this version as latest release. It is misleading for lot of people.
Dear friend everything here seems AI generated including the author’s replies to comments. And unfortunately your AI generated content is out of date React 18 is nothing near new. You didn't even check that. Please use AI responsibly.
Brother, I have been in the industry for around 8 years now. I'm just sharing the things that I had bookmarked in the past. Be it AI or not AI. I'm not selling a course here. My sole intention here is to share knowledge and help others learn. Also It’d be great if we can have a healthy discussion rather than an assumption. Let’s support knowledge sharing.
My friend, 19 is about to come out, 18 has been out for 2.5 years. Also React is not a framework.
Good point, thank you! React is indeed a library rather than a framework. And you’re right, React 18 has been out for some time, but it’s still a valuable update for those who haven’t yet migrated. I’ll be sure to cover React 19.
I really appreciate your detailed explanation! The API mocking feature in EchoAPI is invaluable for my React projects, enabling seamless testing without needing backend dependencies.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found the post helpful. The API mocking feature in EchoAPI really is a game changer for frontend testing, it’s great to be able to simulate backend behavior without relying on a live server. Wishing you all the best in your React projects
