React "What Lies Ahead"
summary
Promises concrete next steps: Animated runs off thread for smooth animations, a pure-JavaScript gesture system for consistent cross-platform input, and layout in React to avoid forced reflow unlocking windowing, chunked rendering and removal of layout-only DOM nodes. Claims include a 90% code-share case for mobile apps (90% code reuse between iOS and Android), React 15 release candidate with ~10% speedups, Relay requiring a GraphQL server, and 225,000 Chrome DevTools installs as a usage signal.
