Honest question, would studying immediate mode rendering systems improve my understanding of React's system of doing things? If so, do you have a resource I could use?

There is also a lengthy and insightful blog-post about the subject where I found the video: http://jlongster.com/Removing-User-Interface-Complexity,-or-...

The first half of my career was in graphics and games. I think at a high-level, React is similar to a rendering engine and React + Flux is similar to a game engine.

I don't know. Probably not but all abstractions leak so then again it might help if you have a second source on how things should work.

I don't have a list of resources.
