Hands-On Design Patterns with React Native

Building abstractions

At the beginning of this chapter, we benchmarked immutable libraries and compared their performance. As with everything, I highly encourage you to spend some time before you commit to any library, pattern, or way of doing things.

Most libraries that adopt functional programming patterns do so for a real benefit. If you are unsure, leave it to someone else, and stick to your well-known imperative patterns. It turns out that simple code often gets better optimizations on the engine level.
