React: What We've Been Working On

> Manual memoization is a reasonable compromise, but we weren’t satisfied. Our vision is for React to automatically re-render just the right parts of the UI when state changes, without compromising on React’s core mental model.

Sadly, these compromises have become the standard for evaluating programmers' skills in tech interviews.

It's also unfortunate that the vision has taken more than 10 years and has yet to be achieved.

There are a lot of interesting things here, but for me, the lede is buried a bit:
