Ryan and Sam use some recent Twitter conversation to guide a discussion about the design and purpose of React Server Components. They talk about how client trees and rendered on the server today, why a server-side rendered prepass is wasteful in light of RSC, how hydration of a client tree works, why RSC are never hydrated, how RSC is a purely additive technology, how server and client components can be interleaved, how RSC can be refreshed in-place without loss of any client state, how RSC fits into the React paradigm despite having a unique syntax and set of capabilities, and other topics.

Topics include:
