Is this the same Riot.js as the 1kb framework or is this just named the same?

Yes. It's the same library, but with a new (major) version.

It's inspired by React so the views are build differently than in 1.0.

According to Google cache, it is. The size change may be due to rewrite (version 2.0):

> This is the biggest change from Riot 1.0 to 2.0. JavaScript and HTML are now part of the same module.

I'd be really interested in the views from people who were much more into JS than I am. I've used Angular for a couple of small cases now and I like it, but have been hearing lots of good stuff about React (and even Om, I'm quite Clojure inclined). How does this stack up against React in terms of power, brevity, etc?

Maybe you can find the answer from the comparison section:

Ok, now I understand, sometimes there are several javascript projects with same name.

Oh a new Javascript framework. I'd been getting worried, it'd been 40ms since the last one.

Haha. No kidding.

On the other hand Riot is over 1 year old project and this is a new/improved version.

This looks amazing! I work with angularjs, been testing reactjs, but this looks simpler and minimal to code ? Probably less documentation or community online ?!
