Jumping jimmies! React is 10 years old. Oh, how time flies…
Miško is on tour giving Qwik talks, while I’m home alone with the kid. But hey, that’s life 🤷🏽 I’m also still recovering from jet lag and lots of folks are on vacation so we hadn’t had much time to write.
But have no fear — we’re on it 😉
And now for our Dad Joke of the Day:
Why don't JavaScript developers like to go outside?
.

Because they might get caught in a callback hell.
Latest from the Builder.io Blog
In light of React turning 10, Vishwas went over the React ecosystem in 2023 from starting a new project through all the nooks and crannies you’d need for your React app.
Yoav (yeah, me) wrote about effortless Multi-threading in JSX using the new worker$ package.
Miško did a deep dive and wrote about how to build your own resumable framework.
Blast from the past
Miško and Yoav (me again!) compared the same Movie app written in 7 different frameworks. With Qwik now post-V1, would be interesting to try again.
The qase for Qwik is 6 months old already, it was the first post I wrote on my own on the Builder blog.
Miško tag teamed with Brent (not a dev, but we’ll forgive him 😂) and wrote about the problem with a headless CMS.
