Facebook just released this new open source JavaScript engine
zdnet.com>"...Hermes is not aimed at browsers or, for example, how Node.js on the server side"
Very confusing sentence..
>"We're not trying to compete in the browser space or the server space. Hermes could in theory could be for those kinds of use cases, that's never been our goal."
The article ends here, could anyone explain what the goal of Hermes is? It's great that Hermes is more efficient for React applications, but how am I going to deliver my React applications with Hermes? If facebook's goal isn't to "compete in the browser space or the server space" how do they plan to get people using Hermes?
React Native runs on a JavaScript runtime with a FFI to integrate with native iOS and Android APIs
Hermes is basically a replacement for the (current) default React Native runtime which is designed to work a lot faster in that particular scenario.
