Nicola Corti: 22 - A year in Review for React Native
2022, what a year it was!
Over the last year we had the opportunity to ship 4 releases, with highly requested features and changes that bring innovation to our framework. We’re going to walk through crucial changes such as the New Architecture, Hermes, TypeScript and much more.
But our changes go beyond just technical. This year we had the opportunity to see so much engagement from the community with contributions that ended up shaping the future of our ecosystem.
