Secrets of the DOM Virtual Machine
summary
Compiles Handlebars-style templates into compact bytecode executed by a tiny JavaScript virtual machine, reducing download and parse cost — example template compiles to 179 bytes and the runtime is a small VM library called glimmer VM. Benchmarks on a Galaxy S3 convert 50 Wikipedia pages and show initial-render parity with virtual DOM and markedly faster updates when a tight counter runs, thanks to partial evaluation that emits specialized update programs; also implements incremental rendering via iterator + requestIdleCallback for 60fps responsiveness.
