Welcome to Syntax. Today we have Tim Neutkins on from Versel, NextJAS, co-author of Next

Yes to talk to us all about everything that's going on with on on

Server Components with React

compiler with TurboPack,

kind of a lot going on in the whole space recently.

So I thought like, let's bring them on to talk about it. So welcome Tim

thanks so much for coming on. Yeah thanks for having me. Or should we start this off?

Yeah well I mean we could start off with some of the hottest new stuff which I guess be the compiler.

So you know I guess first and foremost I know you know this is a react thing and not a next jest thing but I'm sure you all are very tightly

integrated into this what does the react compiler do for those of people who

might not be aware of what it is and what it does.

Yeah, so if you watch the recent ReactCon keynote, if you haven't watched it, I highly

recommend you to watch it because it's definitely a much better explanation

than I will ever be able to do I think.

Yeah. But in essence it's like in like 2018, React Hooks were introduced,

that there were a whole lot of Hooks, right?

So like, use state, use memo, that kind of thing.

We really like in the end, like,

they didn't have the ergonomics that you want,

eventually when you're writing this code.

So they were like created in a way that you can

incrementally get rid of them if you were to build a compiler at some point that's really what the reacting did.
