The most popular immediate mode system I'm aware of is React, which definitely uses retained under the hood.
- mst 6y agoI think I'd argue that React is immediate mode with caching and then a retained-ish driver layer to talk to the underlying DOM. But given the constraints of the "talking to the underlying DOM" part it's going to be a bit handwavey no matter how you argue it, I suspect.
- voodootrucker 6y agoAs a person who has used a slew of UI frameworks and written one or two: All of this is happening at a layer considerably lower than React. This is what's happening when the browser redraws when you scroll for example. Arguably it has to do with the DOM, but certainly not how the DOM gets updated.
