1. React Will Be Compiled

Upcoming changes to React will involve compiling the code. This is expected to be in a future version, likely by the end of 2024, and not in React 19. The compilation will enable automatic memoization, which is a performance optimization technique that React currently requires developers to handle manually. This change is expected to simplify development and improve performance without fundamentally changing how React works.

5. A perfect web framework

Tero Piirainen argues for several key qualities in a "perfect" web framework:

1. Instant development loop: This means seeing changes reflected immediately, boosting developer productivity. Frameworks like Vite and Next.js are mentioned as examples.
2. Easy to scale development experience (DX): Ideally, the framework should allow people with different skillsets (content creators, designers, developers) to contribute and scale the project independently. The article criticizes frameworks like React and Vite where the burden falls solely on JavaScript developers.
