  • Component-Driven

  • {{mustache}}-based templates

  • TWo-Way data binding

  • State observing

  • Scoped CSS styles

Boring stuff

attractively thin, graceful, and stylish

Wait, this new framework has   a runtime? Ugh. Thanks, I'll pass.

front end developers in 2018

var index = (function () {
	'use strict';

	function renderMainFragment(root, component) {
		var html = document.createElement('html');

		var body = document.createElement('body');
		html.appendChild(body);

		var h1 = document.createElement('h1');
		body.appendChild(h1);
		h1.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Hello World!"));

		return {
			mount: function (target, anchor) {
				target.insertBefore(html, anchor);
			},

			teardown: function (detach) {
				if (detach) {
					html.parentNode.removeChild(html);
				}
			}
		};
	}
});
