Perhaps, but at least to the team I was working with at the time, Rollup indicated we shouldn't expect much to change or improve in Ractive. I think Ractive was partially a victim of timing; as Harris himself has said, it has many of the same ideas as React and he may well not have made it if React existed when he began. And it never really seemed to gain much popularity which you kind of need for a project to grow beyond just its creator. I still haven't investigated this new thing, but if it was indeed inspired by Ractive that gives me hope.
