Hehe. I think it's Open Source at play: X publishes an innovative method, Y iterates with a cleaner version benefiting from lessons-learnt, X says "awesome, let's join forces!" and they live together happily thereafter. Inferno passed over to another lead who's pushing it forward.

IMO this is a good outcome: there is some marginal value in yet another "React-like but faster" library, but the same energy could help a lot more people if applied directly to the source of the madness.
