On: Understanding React Compiler

[a_wild_dandan]

> They’re saying that V8 is a very capable optimizer (which it is), so why can’t it optimize the things React Compiler optimizes?

Because capable != exhaustive? All compiled languages can benefit from further optimizations. I genuinely don't understand the issue here. Help!

I think OP is questioning whether these are optimizations or whether they are just redundant.

I don't know the answer - I don't use React personally.
