> Deku to me only has a few slight differences to React.js

This framework is genuinely different from React in how you use it. I know several JS programmers who prefer functional style, yet choose to incorporate React-style classes because React is really good at what it does. This gives them an alternative.

The components built with Deku will be different in programming style. And that's really, really significant.




virtual-dom is excellent.

Also check out mercury:

https://github.com/Raynos/mercury

Or better yet, fork mercury and modify the index.js file and package.json. It's a bunch of libraries masquarading as a framework (which is awesome because it means it's modular instead of monolithic)



React is really much more than just some virtual dom implementation.


Have you heard of omniscientjs: http://omniscientjs.github.io? It allows you to use react in a functional style.
