There was a good interview [1] with Dominic, the author, a month ago, where he covered much of the design rationale behind Inferno. And he's on HN [2], and his comments often offer valuable insight as well. In a strange twist, he also just joined Facebook to work on React [3], so some of his ingenuity will find its way into React in the future. Meanwhile, Inferno is now run by a team of core committers [4].

- Akkuma 10y agoDominic seems like a truly awesome guy. He also frequents /r/javascript. What I hope is that eventually Inferno can be entirely replaced with React and the teams merged. Right now though the two are similar enough to not stop someone from moving back and forth (especially when Inferno offers a React shim), but are different enough to warrant their own existences.
