RSC is indeed very cool. It also serves as a superior serialization format compared to JSON. For example, it can roundtrip basic types such as `Date` and `Map` with no extra effort.

One thing I would like to see more focus on in React is returning components from server functions. Right now, using server functions for data fetching is discouraged, but I think it has some compelling use cases. It is especially useful when you have components that need to fetch data dynamically, but you don't want the fetch / data tied to the URL, as it would be with a typical server component. For example, when fetching suggestions for a typeahead text input.

(Self-promotion) I prototyped an API for consuming such components in an idiomatic way: https://github.com/jonathanhefner/next-remote-components. You can see a demo: https://next-remote-components.vercel.app/.

To prove the idea is viable beyond Next.js, I also ported it to the Waku framework (https://github.com/jonathanhefner/twofold-remote-components) and the Twofold framework (https://github.com/jonathanhefner/twofold-remote-components).

I would love to see something like it integrated into React proper.
