Do Synthetic events do more than just patch old browsers quirks?\r\n\r\n- propTypes; Runtime type checks impossible to remove in production... Nowadays we can use typescript or flow to have quicker compilation feedback without any size overhead.\r\n\r\nJust some thoughts, this is not meant as a critic, just wondering about the design direction for React. I know, all this might only remove a few dozens of bytes and in the grand scheme of things, it's not hugely important, but I like to think every little detail count.\r\n"}}
