This whole handlebar-moustache-angular way of rendering page is retarded ( sorry for my strong language ) I am currently using virtual DOM to render and I have no problem "rending my page using JavaScript" Even with an insane amount of page data that is rendered dynamically. using pre-computed pointers to your page element makes so much sense coming from a background in embedded systems. I have no idea how web-developers think they can get away with adding so much overhead to something as simple as rendering a page. we have bigger problems in the world like hunger and machine learning and why are you guys suck on figuring out how to render a page ??

Angular does a bit more than just rendering a page. It handles routing, two-way data binding, event handling, watching for changes on models, etc.

>I have no idea how web-developers think they can get away with adding so much overhead to something as simple as rendering a page. Probably because it's thought to maximize profit. Typically developers are expensive, but web site viewers have relatively fast computers. In addition, this decision to maximize profit over optimization is often decided by not the developers but for example the product owner.

Your language is completely inappropriate. It is not strong, it is inappropriate and you should edit to remove it. Thanks. [edit] someone gave me my first down-vote for posting this. I'll stand by it.

  Good for you to say so, and good for you to stand by it. Right and wrong is not a popularity contest. If anything, really right things are often unpopular.

Usually comments like this are not good. My tip : don't go radical in your opinion. Sayings like : "This is shit, that's awesome!" are just not true. Developers are always struggling to find a solution of their problem. The best developers I know usually have in their pocket a big list of possible tools that they use in the appropriate time for the right job. Handlebars Moustache Angular is something that is so popular that even this fact makes it "non-retard". Virtual DOM is something new, but if you can find a solution not to use any dynamic DOM modifications, it would be even better. Take a look at some complicated one-page apps ( pinterest, mixcloud ) and don't judge so much about the overhead. Best
