Andrea Giammarchi talks about hyperHTML on the Web Platform Podcast.

It might take a while for it to sink in what he’s talking about here but basically he’s saying that a simple use of standard JavaScript can match and outperform virtual dom based frameworks such as React and Vuejs. His hyperHtml library is only 4K and works in all browsers going back to IE 9.

It’s notable that Google has just announced their own experimental system (lit-Html) which copies seems to match the hyperHTML pattern closely. The difference is that it’s no where near production-ready while Giammarchi’s is.
