## Atom moves to React
[Atom, GitHub's code editor, is now using React](http://blog.atom.io/2014/07/02/moving-atom-to-react.html) to build the editing experience. They did the move in order to improve performance. By default, React helped them eliminate unnecessary reflows. Then, they were able to architecture the rendering pipeline in order to minimize repaint with hardware acceleration. This is a testament that React's architecture is viable for high performant applications.

At the last [JSConf.us](http://2014.jsconf.us/), Vjeux talked about the design decisions of the API that makes it scale for large number of developers. If you don't have 20 minutes, take a look at the [annotated slides](https://speakerdeck.com/vjeux/why-does-react-scale-jsconf-2014).

There's a couple of React-related projects that recently appeared on Yahoo's GitHub. The first one is an [internationalization mixin](https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl). That's exciting to see them contributing.

## Thinking and Learning React
Josephine Hall, working at Ice Lab studio, used React to write a mobile-focused application. She wrote a blog post [“Thinking and Learning React.js”](http://icelab.com.au/articles/thinking-and-learning-reactjs/) to share her experience with elements they had to use. You'll learn about Routing, dispatch, touchable component and basic animations.

## Acorn JSX
Ingvar Stepanyan extended Acorn JavaScript parser to support JSX. The result is a [JSX parser](https://github.com/RReverser/acorn-jsx) that's 1.5-2x faster than the official JSX implementation. It is an experiment and is not meant to be used for serious things. It's always a good thing to get competition on performance!
