React: Rethinking best practices
summary
Argues that apps should re-render entire app on every data change and hands that complexity to an implementation that actually exists: an optional JSX preprocessor, a lightweight virtual DOM with diffing and batched DOM mutations plus a synthetic event system and setState API. Shows bindings for Backbone and Meteor, server rendering in Node, experimental web‑worker renders, SVG/canvas output, and demos hitting ~60 fps on iPhone 5 webviews — the system is built and fast.
