Have you considered EmberJS as an alternative? React may be the best thing since sliced bread, but as Rich Harris, author of Ractive, writes [1]: > Ractive uses similar techniques to Glimmer - it parses the template into a structure such that it's very easy to identify which DOM nodes need to be updated when data changes. This is different to how React (for example) handles DOM updates, which involves re-rendering everything and then running a diff. > The two approaches both have the same goal - minimising DOM updates - but go about it in very different ways. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and I believe we're going to develop a much clearer understanding of what they are in 2015. 1. https://github.com/rich-harris/ractive-dbmonster

This is intended in the same friendly competitive spirit as Jeremy Ashkenas' demo yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9141321) - no disrespect intended to the Ember community, who are rightly proud of what looks like a terrific piece of work. I built this for my own curiosity in a few minutes, and felt compelled to share it when I saw the results. More info here: https://github.com/rich-harris/ractive-dbmonster
