Question: Why Ovto uses the o method instead of template engines like erb?

Answer: Biggest reason is that o was far easier to implement. I just wanted to make MVP quickly, and then found that o feels not so bad - I like it.

I'm not sure we can support template engines. There are a couple of things to consider.

  • Normally template engines like erb outputs a HTML string. But what Ovto needs to render the view is VDom spec, which is a js object like {nodeName: "div", ...}.
  • How to specify event handlers?
