We have benchmarks (using queries extracted from real Google apps) that show that our query-optimizing caching layer speeds up IndexedDB performance by a factor of 100. See: https://github.com/foam-framework/foam/blob/master/demos/pho... Also, load the Empire.js presentation and then press the '+' button on the bottom right. This will load and run all 25 slides at once, at which point you'll have over 20k data-bindings, both one- and two-way, 7k objects, 6k of which are currently being animated. See: http://foam-framework.github.io/foam/foam/index.html?model=f... We are capable of handling this many data-bindings efficiently because we don't rely on a digest/diff cycle. Since we generate the JS prototypes from our models, we are able to install hooks into the generated property getters and setters so that we can receive update notificat

interesting look, example documentation a bit spotty (pages missing eg: http://foam-framework.github.io/foam/foam/demos/ & others), rest of the docs ok. What do I see? It's language centric, that's good and bad. The good bit is you can with a very small JS lib write code to generate a dynamic page. The bad bit: as the language grows and rusts, you have to chase down the removed features. Much easier to grasp in concept and execution than Angular. Loved this bit in the calc demo source, testing: https://github.com/foam-framework/foam/blob/master/apps/acal... Q. Is foam an attempt to create a framework for Mobile Apps?
