It’s fair, the docs could be better! And there are certainly subtleties with hooking up the router and bundler and everything. However I will say that really there is no funny business going on.

Basically the entire elaborate RSC apparatus just ultimately outputs a tree of plain React elements with promises and <Suspense> to make it streamy. Sounds like groundbreaking simplicity to me! I kid a bit but really I’m not sure that the RSC wire format is any easier as an output target than the existing public React client API.

Maybe I should make a little demo to show that.

But anyway the point is that the wire format is an implementation detail because the two sides of the wire are actually the same program. Even if they’re running on two different computers.
