Hi everyone!

I thought I was on schedule for today's issue, until I realized that Dan Abramov wrote 4 RSC blog posts this week πŸ˜‚. We also get great releases, including Storybook, LiveStore, Base UI, and the Lingo Compiler is a quite exciting innovation. The community is still processing last week's Remix awakening with many videos and podcasts commenting on the news.

React Native devs were at App.js last week, where the React Native team unveiled their plan to freeze the Legacy Architecture.

The last TC39 meeting was also quite productive, with 3 proposals progressing to stage 4 among other things. We also got various interesting announcements from the Vite ecosystem.

As always, thanks for supporting us on your favorite platform:

      Freezing the Legacy Architecture

      Freezing the Legacy Architecture

      The React Native team officially announced their plan to freeze the Old Arch Legacy Arch, so that they can focus all their efforts on the New Architecture. They’ll keep the Legacy Arch usable through security and critical bug fixes, but don't plan to merge new features. They'll eventually remove it an indefinite future, because keeping it around has a maintenance cost.
