As you can see from inspecting the examples, any non-standard tag will use standard tags in the dom, with a class denoting their imba type.

React and Imba can both optimize using shouldComponenUpdate (in Imba you would add the same logic inside node#commit). Utilising shouldComponentUpdate (in React and Imba) requires additional logic by the developer, not the framework. This i

Imba is still lacking when it comes to devtools, but it does have full support for source mapping, and the sublime text plugin includes inline error messages from the compiler.

Yes, more like LiveScript / CoffeeScript. I don't think apps written in Imba really need anything like Redux/Flux, nor any other framework for that matter, since the way you define tags etc structures your code pretty well. W

It compiles to standard js, and it's entirely unproblematic to interoperate with any/all js libraries. I myself use Imba whenever I need to write something for web/node, even if it is only a small library to be used in a larg

The benchmark where mithril was much faster is very flawed, see comments from creators of vue: http://vuejs.org/perf/ . Mithril was faster because it rendered asynchronously once every frame, while React rendered on eve

This is the new website for Imba. I'd love to get advice and constructive feedback regarding both the site itself, and the learning material.

I now ran the benchmarks with the this['_' + i] change (which disables per-task caching, but does not really remove any/all caching alltogether. Imba is still 35x faster than react on the 'everything' benchmark (and

See comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10095990 . Thanks for taking the time to looking through the benchmark. I think you are misinterpreting things. Yes we do caching, and yes IF your app created a million tasks

Hi there. This is utterly wrong, and if you had cared to read about what the benchmark is trying to achieve, you would understand ( https://github.com/somebee/todomvc-render-benchmark ). You cannot simply remove caching

Thanks for the feedback. What do you mean with global variables for class state? We do consider moving class-bodies inside an actual function (again) - but there is a virtual scope there in the compiler. So class A var i = 10 var

Yes, it can. Serverside rendering is still not very well tested, but it does work. I will create a simple example soon.

Hi. We actually do a different kind of diffing - which turns out to be substantially faster than React: http://somebee.github.io/todomvc-render-benchmark/index.html . The language has just been released, it is still ver
