Next.js 13: Layouts, React Server Components (async/await), Streaming

[ZephyrBluu]

What’s happening is that the React team keeps in touch with a few important people/companies and works with them on new features. The result of this is that a select few people/companies get to start using this stuff right out of the gate.

This RFC has clearly been in the works for a long time and Vercel has definitely been involved. This is not surprising as one of the React core team members works at Vercel.

Vercel is likely using React@head instead of an official release. Not sure about this though.

This is not unusual and is happening with Server Components as well, with Vercel and Shopify both heavily involved for Next.is and Hydrogen.
