ESLint is a popular and constantly improving tool that offers full control and simplicity in JavaScript with native imports. The new Flat Config simplifies the complex tree structure of shared configs and has been in the works for five years. It allows for customization and type generation, maximizing flexibility. ESLint can be used as a formatter and a tool for code mode, providing more control and customization options. It also supports other languages and can be integrated with prettier. Migrating to the Flat Config may be challenging, but compatible packages and tools are available to assist with the transition.

My name is Mauro and I work for a company called Doubleloop in Italy. Today, I'm going to share my learning journey through puzzles and challenges related to React Server Components (RSC). RSC allows for server-side rendering and streaming of components. React flight, a protocol used to serialize and share rendering jobs, is a key feature of RSC. RSC can be used without a server, known as React Serverless Components. Using RSC, different types of content can be switched using the useState hook. RSC can be effectively used on a server by starting Node.js with a specific flag. Client-only components recognized by RSC can be executed on the client. React Streaming Components introduces the streaming concept and allows for continuous updates of the page. Advanced features of React Streaming Components include asynchronous rendering, suspense, and recursion. The React Strange Constraints challenge focuses on optimizing rendering by sending the initial page as HTML. The use of a proxy and RSE payload allows for client hydration of RSC. The possibility of using languages other than JavaScript, such as Rust, for server components is explored. RSC has the potential to become a language-agnostic protocol. The meaning of client-server roles in RSC can be extended. RSC offers streaming capabilities and the ability to balance server and client work. Infinite streaming is possible with server sockets. RSC hydration is believed to be faster than regular hydration. The Talk concludes by encouraging questions during the Q&A session.
