What's next for the React Compiler?
summary
React Compiler is open source and ships as a Babel plugin with a public Beta on npm that supports older React versions via a runtime polyfill. Recent work adds precise memoization by depending on exact fields, a built‑in type inference plus configurable type hints for vanilla JS, an ESLint plugin powered by the compiler that catches ref and rules-of-React violations, and experimental outlining to extract components and JSX runtime inlining behind flags used in Meta experiments. Libraries are advised to compile and publish built artifacts.
