you can now write React in Lua...? Roblox has successfully ported all of React 17.x to Lua It's 80k lines of JS translated to Lua It appears most of this is driven by their JS -> Lua compiler This is totally cursed, but I guess an impressive feat of engineering

@SubtleGradient @zack_overflow Bringing the incremental changes from React 17 to 18 into Lua would be fairly straightforward, for anyone who wants to fund/staff it. The hardest part was Suspense, particularly the tests, and we got well over that hump since it helped cut TTMFR by over half versus “Roact”.
@SubtleGradient @zack_overflow the awesome about this its totally a thing
