Fibers? I thought they were implemented and that was what React 16 was all about.

From React 16 blog post (https://reactjs.org/blog/2017/09/26/react-v16.0.html):

>We think async rendering is a big deal, and represents the future of React. To make migration to v16.0 as smooth as possible, we’re not enabling any async features yet, but we’re excited to start rolling them out in the coming months. Stay tuned!

The rewrite was about adding the foundation for making this even possible. But there's still work to do before we can enable async rendering by default.

Ah ok thanks, not super familiar with react. Had seen a video about fibers/async and saw something about 16 implementing them. Put 2 and 2 together and got 5.
