What's next for React Native and Expo

on YouTube ↗53m

" summary

Fabric re‑implements React Native internals to move away from the async bridge by leveraging React Fiber and offering opt‑in synchronous execution, while JSI and turbo modules aim to replace the serialized bridge and speed initialization with generated C++ wrappers. Expo supplies a CLI, Snack playground, and build service, and its native APIs are now split into universal modules so apps can pick only what they need. Fabric and JSI are experimental; Expo works today but some teams eventually eject for custom native code.
