I can only conclude that you're so focused on aggressively dismissing this person's work, in the typical HN fashion, that you didn't actually read the comment you responded to, or any of their other responses throughout this thread.

You say:

>You ALSO need a library to do the virtaul dom stuff and/or data binding to write an application.

OP says:

>Imba includes syntax for tags (scroll down to "Tags"), virtual DOM diffing, event handling (with touch support).

>Although Imba was started before React it should be noted that it didn't include virtual diffing until React showed that it worked.

judofyr's comment that you're quoting was posted after shadowmint's.

TFA however, which has examples of that stuff, was posted before shadowmint's.

If he was unsure about what he saw in those examples, then he could always refrain from pissing on the project until he had more information.

The second quote, maybe, but the first comes directly from the comment shadowmint is responding to here.

Its great how you can edit comments isn't it? Both quotes were edited.

Still... I suppose that my original post remains the top here says something. Cant reedit something with no parent. too bad. ;)
