Great job! I don't really enjoy React that much and I suspect it's because I don't grasp the fundamentals. This helps a lot! I also appreciated the structure of the post and the detailed research you put into it.

Okay, in that case, I’ll start my research on reconcilers soon!

I'll attempt to figure things out even more and make another tutorial-like article, where we would create an MVC client-side app like it's 2011 and we are a group of engineers at Facebook Ads Org.

Thanks a lot for this ❤

Also, a series on the following would be really really helpful, specially the "code their simpler versions" part.

If you want to understand the difference between Fiber and Stack Reconcilers, let me know in the comments and I'll consider making a series of articles, where we would take a deep dive into both reconcilers and code their simpler versions ourselves.
