React hasn’t had a major version update in over 2 years since React 18 was launched in 2022. React 19 has lots of exciting new features that make handling data mutations simpler while giving us APIs to improve the user’s experience with optimistic updates! ✨

The React team has also launched a new open-source compiler it has been working on for years that will handle many of the nitty-gritty performance details for you behind the scenes.
