TYPE SYSTEM OF THE REACT COMPILER

recompiled.dev6 min read

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

React's compiler leverages type inference to optimize memoization in components. It infers types for variables and functions based on their usage in JavaScript code. By understanding that values used in arithmetic operations are primitives, the compiler can avoid unnecessary memoization with React.memo or useMemo.
