There's not much sign of "Static Hermes" on the web. Appears to be a JavaScript compiler from facebook.
"Static Hermes is the the next major version of Hermes, still under active development. It enables optional ahead-of-time native compilation of soundly typed JavaScript, using TypeScript or Flow type annotations."
I find the AI images in this presentation to be quite distracting for some reason.

- harrygeez 3y agoProbably because it's pretty new. React Native needs to start a JavaScript runtime before it can evaluate its JavaScript code, which is what the application logic is written in, and JS engines are typically not designed to prioritize time-to-interactive metrics and disk usage. Hermes is meant to address some of those concerns and this is probably the next step towards improving those metrics.
