From React Compiler 1.0 introducing automatic memoization (no more useMemo debates), to React Native deleting its legacy architecture and running directly on C++, to the entire React project moving under the Linux Foundation — the ecosystem is undergoing its biggest transformation since Hooks.

In this episode of The Node (& More) Banter, Luca Maraschi & Matteo Collina unpack what these shifts mean for developers today — and what’s coming next.

We’ll cover:

✅ How React Compiler makes your apps faster without changing a line of code

✅ Why React Native’s new architecture is a complete rebuild, not a refactor

✅ What the Linux Foundation move means for React’s long-term future

✅ Hidden gems in React 19.2 that change how we think about effects and visibility

✅ Why 2025 marks the start of React’s “post-optimization” era

If you’ve been waiting for the next big React moment — this is it. Compiler-level intelligence, native performance, and community governance are setting the stage for the framework’s boldest decade yet.
