React Fiber in WebAssembly - is it worth it ?

[xurei]

Now that WebAssembly is finally a Web standard, I was wondering if React Fiber could use it for better performance of the React Framework.

I'm willing to try to make a POC ( good way to learn React Fiber and Web Assembly in one shoot ^_^ ). But first, I wanted to know if some work has already been done -- I didn't found anything relevant on the repo or with Google, except for this mention #7942 (comment).

What do you think ?

I don’t think this is a good way to learn about fiber (or wasm). I don’t think there are any clear wins to be had by rewriting React in wasm at the moment. You’re welcome to try, ofc!
