## AI overview

The React team shares research updates following the React 18 release, including work on React Server Components, async/await-based data fetching, boundary annotations, cross-ecosystem bundler semantics, and APIs for coordinating external assets across React environments.

## Source excerpt

React 18 was years in the making, and with it brought valuable lessons for the React team. Its release was the result of many years of research and exploring many paths. Some of those paths were successful; many more were dead-ends that led to new insights. One lesson we've learned is that it's frustrating for the community to wait for new features without having insight into these paths that we're exploring.
