A client-side transpiler from something like WPF to HTML.
I want native, rich binding of data in whatever directions necessary and a model that makes sense. I don't want any bleed from HTML oddities, or even any access to the HTML layer. Abstract that away from me entirely with something that makes sense. Let me publish packages so I can deploy UI components in a nice tiny bundle. I'm fine with Javascript being the code layer, but give me a modern render layer, even if under the hood it's built on quirky HTML.
I feel like every library out there is a half-attempt at this, but every single one ends up being "HTML, but with data binding". I don't want "HTML with something". I want a modern presentation layer, using modern concepts.
Angular kind of does a decent job at binding, but I still need to handle weird corner cases in HTML and hack things together. Polymer is further from HTML, but the binding syntax is pretty gimped, and you end up using a bunch of div's anyway to get things just right.
Maybe this exists, but my Google-fu is to weak to find it.
