I was checking out Googles Incremental Dom (
https://github.com/google/incremental-dom) project, a library similar to virtual-dom or react, but without the use of an intermediate tree or a fully integrated componentized framework.
It behaves much more like a template languaeg as a result and at first impression it looks to me like it might be possible to create a render delegate based on the Incremental DOM library. Has any work been done to look into this or similar alternative rendering strategies?
