Is isomorphic JavaScript a thing? Isn't it just 'using jsdom'?

No. jsdom is not the perfect solution. jsblocks is using Virtual DOM and have specific implementation to support server-side rendering which makes the framework more powerful and flexible.

Still relies on JavaScript server side rendering - which will be the biggest performance bottleneck, by far, for both this and React.

If you really want a framework that is faster, check out Tungsten (https://github.com/wayfair/tungstenjs), which is as fast as this client side, and can render in vanilla Mustache using Go/C++.

lodash slower than underscore? Isn't lodash's primary purpose to be a more performant drop-in for underscore? Would love to see these benchmarks in a jsPerf.

Guess not. http://jsperf.com/ldash-vs-underscore

Why link version with year old code? https://jsperf.com/ldash-vs-underscore/3

I think it's great that there is such an amount of active development in the JS sphere, and I'm sure your framework is fantastic - so don't take this as directed at your framework specifically. That being said... I am however feeling so overexposed to new libraries and frameworks that I can hardly muster the energy to even look at it. I constantly feel that I'm behind on my homework having to evaluate new libraries a…

So don't study it then? It's perfectly fine to continue using what you are using. Most recruiters talking to me still ask for Angular, even if I consider it a little hairy and prefer not using it. After being in the JS sphere for a while and living with these changes, I have learned a lot. Because there is nothing new under the sun, these all do pretty much the same thing - but in different ways. There are tradeoffs,…

The problem is, it's our fault that recruiters are now asking for Angular, because we sold our employers on Angular and built their apps in Angular. Now that Angular is mainstream and has fallen out of fashion, they need to hire more developers to maintain all those Angular apps we built for them.

It is, but i dunno why every other new framework pushes that, when you can do this in react with some conventions and 30 lines of node code. AFAIK ember fastboot gonna use jsdom and they are planning to release something for a long time, may be it is focus thing, or just too painful to do that using naive jsdom rendering.

If you already found good tools and happy with these - stick to it. If you are still looking - I find description on the site is pretty clear about idea behind approach, which made me quickly do proper decision to learn it/skip it this time.

It is our fault if Angular was not a best tool for a job at the time, otherwise we should be happy that we have better tools coming to help us doing our job.

What is problem for you - for some might be job security :) And I think Angular is still very much in fashion. At least this is impression I am getting from occasional talks with random recruiters.
