You know that the author of this post is the creator of React and that he's been pushing for RSC/Vercel relentlessly, right?
btw reactdom is ~30kb gzipped so React minimal bundle is around 35kb
- whilenot-dev 1y agoDan Abramov isn't "the creator of React", he just became an evangelist for react ever since he got to the team at Facebook through his work on redux. He is pushing for RSC (as that's where react's future seems to be), but what makes you think he's pushing for Vercel?
- gavinray 1y agoIf you really want to bikeshed over size, you can use Preact which is a genuine 3kB full drop-in for React.
- owebmaster 1y agoWhy would I? React is just bad, the change from classes/function components to hooks abstraction was terrible but the current push to RSC made me quit 2 years ago with zero regrets. Life is great when you don't need to debug zillions of useless components re-render.
- danabramov 1y agoI'm not the creator of React (that would be Jordan). I've also never taken any money from Vercel and I don't care about it. I do think RSC is an interesting technology and I like writing about it while I'm on my sabbatical.
