From memory, calc is IE9 and inline-block is IE6. http://caniuse.com/ can answer these questions for you in general. If you're looking into newer layout techniques, you should also check out flexbox.

In order to understand the frame of reference for Om, you really need to watch some Rich Hickey presentations [1][2] (or have a good understanding of functional programming). The first one is more relevant to your questions here, the second

Shouldn't be too bad. The original B2G dev phones were the Nexus S, which doesn't look that far off in terms of processor specs. It's been 6+ months since I've done a build for the Nexus S but the perf was generally acce

React [1] batches writes to the DOM automagically, which was the main problem with the original app that prompted the FB post. Sencha did a version that worked fine with then-current hardware/browsers. [1] http://facebook.gi

I've always enjoyed the change and the re-start of standardization efforts reminds me of the fun of bad old days without the massive browser incompatibility. For me the transitions weren't about being "forced" to do anyt

Lisps work better from an editor that can provide tight REPL integration. I've used vim for 15 years and use it for everything else but it does not do this well. Clojure support via vim-fireplace is better than nothing and I've us

I've read them and the only one I feel is misleading is the perf statement. The perf gains over Backbone are because DOM access kills your perf. Backbone isn't fast. It's simple and popular. All the major data binding framewo

You pretty much have it. React is a better match with the Clojure programming model. Pulling your application state completely out of the DOM is the key win and everything else is incremental gains/taste. Since I care about this a lot

If you're already using directives to get all your app's state out of the DOM then there's not a lot of practical benefit to using React over Angular. You get some perf gains due to the DOM update batching and it's conce
