Translating React
summary
Code-first tour of the source shows concrete surprises: React is just an object and a React element is a plain object with type, key, ref and props; JSX compiles to React.createElement via Babel’s transform-react-jsx; ReactDOM.render funnels to legacyRenderSubtreeIntoContainer then the DOM renderer and the react-reconciler/fiber engine; a long list of protected prop names ~500 lines and a demo repo of 250 lines contrasts with React’s ~8,000-line codebase and works without magical extra runtime.
