Getting Fluent with React

Explains how React’s fiber double-buffering gives scheduling and priority, then demos two concurrent hooks: useDeferredValue (debounce-like but scheduler-driven) and useTransition (lower-priority state updates via startTransition and isPending). Builds a 10k–30k-item filter example, factors the list into a memoized component, and shows input stays instant while list updates lag without jank — with deferred/transition updates the UI feels smooth and the demo works.
