No, the React process and JS engine run on a separate thread from the main UI thread. The JS thread just passes messages to functions defined natively on the main thread. A lot of this is abstracted away in the components themselves.

Yes different threads, same process.

If you wanted to use React to render a view for a Golang controller, you’d have to embed a JavaScript engine in your Go process or vice-versa. That’s why I like the idea of a multi process desktop UI kit that coordinates with the renderer via pipes. You could actually use React to do the rendering in this case as well.

Yeah, I think the React Native implementations being intra-process has only been a function of mobile OS's sandboxing requirements. A macOS / Windows / Linux application can feel free to separate the processes, which I agree does sound nicer on the surface.
