Meta & Amazon Launch React Foundation to Drive Ecosystem Growth
Meta, previously known as Facebook, and Amazon have officially launched the React Foundation, a new initiative under the Linux Foundation. This move aims to support and grow the React ecosystem.
The React Foundation will oversee various projects, including financial backing for key initiatives and issuing grants. It will also serve as the home for React Native and JSX, ensuring their continued development and maintenance. Additionally, the Foundation will take charge of organizing the annual React Conf event.
Vercel has recently released Next.js 16 Beta, featuring enhancements to Turbopack, caching, and the overall Next.js architecture. Meanwhile, the Angular Team has announced a significant development: the ability to generate Angular applications using Google AI Studio.
The governance of the React Foundation will be overseen by a board of directors, with Seth Webster appointed as the executive director.
The formation of the React Foundation marks a new chapter for the React ecosystem. With Meta and Amazon as founding members, the Foundation is set to drive growth and innovation through financial support, maintenance of key projects, and event organization. Meanwhile, the tech community continues to see advancements with the release of Next.js 16 Beta and the integration of AI in Angular app generation.
