What is the future of virtual-dom? #360

Open calebmer opened 8 years ago

calebmer commented 8 years ago

I, and I think many others, are looking to put virtual-dom in production as a much smaller but equally efficient implementation of the virtual DOM concept React made popular.

That said, it's hard to find information on the future of this package. It would be nice to have some assurance this package is under continual maintenance with plans for the future.

Some specific questions are:

  1. What are the vdom and vtree packages on NPM? They appear to be by the same author. Will they ever be maintained?
  2. Will submitted pull requests with bug fixes get merged?
  3. Is this package considered stable? The README says experimental and it also says the build is failing.
  4. Could a new contributor be added? Maybe @staltz or someone else with experience who could help review PRs?

+1 for this. Additionally, I'm part of a minority who prefer es5 and would like to know --will virtual-dom remain es5-compatible?

Will, sure, will.
