Not having a VDOM is only a pro if your library maintains feature parity with libraries that have a VOM. Otherwise, you just lack whatever it is that VDOMs enable. This library seems to forget why view libraries use a VDOM. In this library, you have to write imperative update logic, which the VDOM specifically allows you to avoid. The VDOM is a slight performance hit most people accept in order to be able to write declarative code.
In this case, I find it a bit misleading to pass off not having a VDOM as a pro. It's a bit like building a social media site with no users and claiming everyone should join because it doesn't have spam.
- giornogiovanna 8y agoIn my opinion the benefits of declarative GUI are vastly overstated for the average web app. Given that your application is appropriately componentized, it rarely makes things much clearer.
