I think my talk paints a relatively convincing picture why DOM nodes aren’t a sufficient primitive if you care about the features I described, as you’d need something like React to orchestrate those updates.

Hello Dan,

Great talk ! My thinking behind the top statement was with a native implementation of react-core, the react-native story becomes more compelling with JSX(ish) UI templates / CSS Styles and multi language business logic support.

Once you have this, the browser becomes another target. I see Flexbox implementation is already native with Yoga [0].

Oh sorry, I didn't do a good job explaining myself.

Currently:

    Application(JS) + React(JS) | Browser(C/C++/Rust)
Possible Future:

    Application(JS) + React(Polyfill - JS) | React(C/C++/Rust) + Browser(C/C++/Rust)
Something akin to the Browser building a "higher level" React-like API/scheduler for the DOM.
