THOUGHTS ON STATE MANAGEMENT LIBRARIES IN THE REACT COMPILER ERA

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Daishi Kato, the creator of the popular React state management libraries Zustand, Jotai, and Valtio, discusses the future of them in light of the React Compiler and Server Components (RSCs). The React Compiler's optimization capabilities may diminish the core need for these libraries by removing unnecessary re-renders, a problem they currently solve. RSCs also lessen the reliance on these libraries for server-side state caching. However, these libraries still offer valuable features like state organization and composability.
