Next.js 13 wow

Game changing and blazing fast without tradeoffs.

It is said that next.js 13 would have a new build tool called: turbopack, which is 10x faster than Vete and 700x faster than webpack !

Epic feature: Data fetching - no need to pass props back and forth between client and server. We can just write a plain JS function using fetch() and then await of the result into the function.

No serialization required, and all mental models is revolved around cacheing. UI can be incrementally streamed-in thanks to React suspence.

All these changes are major, and would make the existing Next.js tutorials obsolete.
