Thanks! This helped lot. Now having taking a gentle look at svelte, I think it is very smart. Instead of diff-ing the virtual component tree, it is maintaining a dependency of statements behind the scene by providing a reactive declaration. Upon each event, the re-run the whole tree of statements, then update the DOM directly with the result of those statements, hence no need heavy manipulation of DOM nor diff-ing of large in memory object. I've only just started to look at svelte though, so could be very wrong. But again thank you so much for you pointer, everything just clicked suddenly.
