> With Server Components and nested layouts in Next.js, you're able instantly render parts of the page that do not specifically require data, and show a loading state for parts of the page that are fetching data. With this approach, the user does not have to wait for the entire page to load before they can start interacting with it.

Crazy huge user win.

I am a little nervous how much stuff Next does in the middle, how thoroughly it links front & back end. Streaming a page with chunks missing then streaming sections as they resolve is pretty advanced magic. Amazing DX experience but I also can think back to asp.net & remember huge viewstate blobs & utterly magic middle-layers, and those were powerful too, but impregnible bizarre systems to the developer & that wasnt good.

Next keeps hitting reaply really nice sweet spots & consolidates & tackles so many problems, and my trepidation is small at this point, but this is really redefining the page a lot, & I feel like I really want some deep dives on the technics involved here, want to know the magic is somewhat accessible & coherent, for fellow would be meddlers.
