Translating React
summary
Walks through actual internals: inspects react.createElement and the object shape returned, traces JSX to the Babel plugin transform-react-jsx, and follows react → react-dom → react-reconciler (Fiber) to show where reconciliation and secrets like react shared internals live. Notes concrete surprises: a ~500-line protected-names list and a repo-size comparison — a 250-line site versus ~8,000 lines of React — and uses that to justify sometimes saying no to rewriting code in React.
