ReactNativeHostConfig: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/d49e0e0be0941490fe709f80de137516ba4c0ee3/packages/react-native-renderer/src/ReactNativeHostConfig.js#L263-L267

• It calls into low level UIManager.updateView / manageChildren methods, but it's a pretty thin wrapper over them, doing minor diffing calculations. I guess we don't need those calculations for Laminar API, but on the other hand as Arman said, if we target the HostConfig API, we could potentially target... other renderers written to that same API? I think https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web might be one of those, but not sure yet how it's implemented.

Note to self – one other uncertainty is the ability of Hermes to run Scala.js code. Seems doable but has some limitations apparently. Haven't looked into it myself. Discussion in scala-js discord: https://discord.com/channels/632150470000902164/635668814956068864/1143118419479236719
