React Native EU 2021 Q&A Panel | React Universe On Air #10
The 10th episode of React Universe On Air (formerly known as The React Native Show Podcast) is fully dedicated to the questions that were asked during the React Native EU 2021 conference. We gathered four great React Native experts in one room to answer these questions (in Callstack's headquarters to be exact) and just let them go with the flow. During the Q&A panel, our panelists: Wojciech Kwiatek (https://twitter.com/WojciechKwiatek) - CTO at Channels, JavaScript developer, mentor, and trainer. Mainly focused on bridging the gap between tech and business. Mike Grabowski (https://twitter.com/grabbou) - CTO & Co-founder at Callstack. What’s more, he is also a React Native Core Contributor and host at The React Native Show podcast. Satya Sahoo (https://twitter.com/satya164) - React and React Native developer at Callstack. You may know Satya from the Open Source community, for he is one of the engineers that work on React Navigation library. Paweł Trysła aka. Zamotany (https://twitter.com/_zamotany) - Software engineer at Callstack. Paweł is also actively working for the development of React Native as the lead engineer at Re.Pack Open Source library (formerly Haul). answer a number of questions related to the conference revealing their favorite talks, the new React Native Architecture, present and future of React Native, Open Source libraries, and many more!

And what are you excited about the most? 18:47 What was your favorite topic at React Native EU 2021 conference? 22:15 What's coming up with the new React Native Architecture? What's the connection between JSI, TurbuModules, and Fabric? 24:26 When the re-architecture (TurboModules, Fabric) rollout will be available to the community? And will users be able to use it while working with React Native 0.67? 28:54 What is the largest number of platforms you run React Native on in production? How much real code sharing is there? And what are the drawbacks of maintaining many platforms? 33:09 What are your thoughts on React Native support for wearOS? Or wearables in general? And what do you believe are the limitations of this implementation? 35:06 VR/AR experiences with React Native. What’s the plan for making VR/AR constructs exposed to React Native? 36:56 Can I use React Navigation in React Native Windows, MacOS, etc.? 37:31 With React Native being available on so many platforms, how do you envision the library ecosystem and native code in them? 41:43 What does it take to develop and maintain a big Open Source library? 47:02 Does Re.Pack support Hermes engine? 49:48 Should the Reanimated library be brought into React Native core?
