Should the Reanimated library be brought into React Native core?

move on uh wojtek you said that uh talk about animations was your favorite on the react native eu conference so maybe you can answer this one should reanimated library be brought into react native core it seems to be the fact of the standard when it comes to creating animations i'm not sure if that's the reason or or the reasonable for the react itself or the native itself because as far as i know the idea is that the react native should be quite lean in case of quite separated from the library but we still have the animated api inside react native yes maybe some parts of it i believe that it will be extended in some way but i'm not sure if that should be brought into like with all of this stuff um that's also a part of the of the react itself so it's it's just a small library that allows you to you know to put different things on top of that so so i believe that it it should still be the same right so uh the right native should be mike wants to add something yes because you you wanted you wanted to trick him by asking what about animated api yeah and i can trick you now now uh that uh uh i'm not on the phone like voytek is right about the lean core yeah so the the lean car and i i like i i recently feel so weird that you know like time is running so fast that now you know like react needs been around for six years there are people that are learning react native right now maybe you just started that may not even know what link or is which is something that some of us can take for granted because we were around the time some time ago web view was a part of react native yeah and uh and what i'm saying is that uh there was this effort called link or to strip unnecessary bloated code out of react native like a webview so it's smaller and we can replace webview with something else for example yes a part of it and uh those libraries were taken out and then uh people took ownership of them some of them are now maintained by call stack uh including uh the react native um slider and um pager view and there's one by i i forgot the name anyway uh that's not the point uh the point is that somebody recently asked okay what about link or you guys are saying it's over but there are still 10 modules that were supposed to be removed that you haven't taken out what is going to happen with them and one of these were actually the ones that you set so somebody somebody recently asked was the status of it because it looks like after the initial first sweeping we we never did the follow-up iteration so i would expect there might be a follow-up removal so if you would like to animate it i don't know if that's gonna be animated but the general conclusion is that if you would like to get involved with react native open source um when we are taking away something out of react native we are looking for maintainers and it's like very very easy to claim that you want to maintain it and try maintaining it and wow immediately you are one of the react native community members having one piece of react native on you so quite a lot of responsibility you can test your big open source uh yes sir answer that question for yourself as well thank you
