@codewithbeto: Discord's new client is a useful reminder that the same technology headline can hide very different engineering decisions. The desktop prototype uses Rust and GPUI. On mobile, the CTO says the plan keeps native views while driving them from the same Rust codebase. He explicitly described it as inspired by React Native. That detail matters more to me than the phrase “leaving React Native.” A team can replace a framework and still keep the shared-code approach that made the framework useful in the first place. The demo also needs context. This is an early build, and the memory figures come from specific examples. They aren't a promise that every user's installation will behave the same way. There wasn't a shipping date in the announcement covered here. I went through the performance demos, the mobile architecture and the bigger developer takeaway in the full breakdown on my YouTube channel. #ReactNative #Rust #AppDevelopment
