I tried React Compiler today, and guess what… 😉

For the last two and a half years, after I release any piece of content that mentions patterns related to re-renders and memoization, visitors from the future would descend into the comments section and kindly inform me that all I just said is not relevant anymore because of React Forget (currently known as React Compiler).

Now that our timeline has finally caught up with theirs and React Compiler is actually released to the general public as an experimental feature, it’s time to investigate whether those visitors from the future are correct and see for ourselves whether we can forget about memoization in React starting now.
