Demo: Coordinating async React with non-React views

tl;dr I built a demo illustrating what it might look like to add async rendering to Facebook's commenting interface, while ensuring it appears on the screen simultaneous to the server-rendered story.

A key benefit of async rendering is that large updates don't block the main thread; instead, the work is spread out and performed during idle periods using cooperative scheduling.

But once you make something async, you introduce the possibility that things may appear on the screen at separate times. Especially when you're dealing with multiple UI frameworks, as is often the case at Facebook.

How do we solve this with React?

Problem: How can we preprocess JavaScript (at build-time or on the server-side) so engines like V8 don't have to spend as much time in Parse? This is a topic that involves generating either bytecode or a bytecode-like-abstraction that an engine would need to accept. For folks that don't know, modern web apps typically spend a lot longer in Parsing & Compiling JS than you may think.

• Yoav: This can particularly be an issue on mobile. Same files getting parsed all the time for users. Theoretically if we moved the parsing work to the server-side, we would have to worry about it less.
• One angle to this problem is we all ship too much JavaScript. That's one perspective. We could also look at preprocessing.
• We've been talking about this topic over the last few weeks a bit with V8. There were three main options proposed.
• 1. Similar to what optimize-js does. Identify IIFEs and mark them as such so the browser and VMs heuristics will catch them and do a better job than today. optimize-js only tackles IIFE bu

Minimum Viable Async with Node 6

With the release of Node 6.0.0, the surface of code that needs transpilation to use ES6 features has been reduced very dramatically.

This is what my current workflow looks like to set up a minimalistic and fast microservice using micro and async + await.

A lot of people mentioned other immutable JS libraries after reading my post. I thought it would be good to make a list of available ones.

There are two types of immutable libraries: simple helpers for copying JavaScript objects, and actual persistent data structure implementations. My post generally analyzed the tradeoffs between both kinds of libraries and everything applies to the below libraries in either category.

Libraries are sorted by github popularity.

Persistent Data Structures w/structural sharing

export var Enhance = ComposedComponent => class extends Component {

    this.state = { data: null };
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    this.setState({ data: 'Hello' });
  }

/**
 * Fancy ID generator that creates 20-character string identifiers with the following properties:
 *
 * 1. They're based on timestamp so that they sort *after* any existing ids.
 * 2. They contain 72-bits of random data after the timestamp so that IDs won't collide with other clients' IDs.
 * 3. They sort *lexicographically* (so the timestamp is converted to characters that will sort properly).
 * 4. They're monotonically increasing.  Even if you generate more than one in the same timestamp, the
 *    latter ones will sort after the former ones.  We do this by using the previous random bits
 *    but "incrementing" them by 1 (only in the case of a timestamp collision).
