#2Interesting. This might have come from the Google+ development team, as this and something called "jsmodel" are part of that product. You can see traces of both of these in the DOM of plus.google.com

#3How does this compare with RX.js where they use the Observable setup to work with collections of events? Like that Netflix talk that was up here last week?

Actually you can also see traces of the jsaction attribute in the G+ product. G+ isn't using this from the group up though. It has a pretty long history at Google, so I'm not even sure where it came from. Should have been either Maps or Search.

#5Is it just me, or does this not seem "tiny" at all? It seems to require a bunch of Closure modules, and on top of that the source itself is hundreds of lines (albeit with comments).
Nitpicking aside, it looks like an interesting approach to decoupling the DOM from your event handlers. Personally I'm happy sticking with the standard on{event} attributes for really simple stuff.

#6I like they are putting this on Github instead of (or on top of) Google Code

It is 2.5KB to 6KB (depending on enabled flags) gzipped which is still in the realm on inlining into the HTML – thus avoiding a roundtrip for enabling event handling (even if all the handlers do is download the modules that have the actual implementation).

#8Why is this better than something like backbone, for instance?

#9Seems like this has to be "compiled" with clojure compiler. I'm not very familiar with this. Can someone provide some rough instructions to actually get the "compiled" library?

#10This looks very similar to the concept of "sigils" in Javelin: https://secure.phabricator.com/book/javelin/article/sigils_m...
