I'm suspicious of libraries who showcase their size as a reason to go with them.

Its the motion of the ocean in the library that matters.

One of the biggest selling points for React/Flux for me was the fact that it had been proven by Facebook and Instagram on some very large projects.

What has this been used on?

For anyone who doesn't remember, Riot.js used to be a 1kb MVP library, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7036274

Hm. How does this compare to Mithril JS ( http://lhorie.github.io/mithril/ )? I just looked at the doc and read this thread (at 61 comments). Same: * virtual dom * has its own tag syntax * Mithril has MSX, but also supports regular JS data structure with m("tag", {attr:val, onclick: func, [more tags, "text"]} * router Different: * Where Mithril allows you to build and transform resulting template structure before vir…

Definitely some similarities exist like you listed.

Riot offers following to the (massive) client-side table:

1. Custom tags (with unscary HTML + JS syntax)

2. Minimalism (both size and API surface)

3. Performance (minimizing DOM operations with virtual DOM)

The 3rd item is not battle-tested / benchmarked yet and there is probably room for improvements.

Where is the list of controls? I would be really interested to see their grid layout control implementation. This is something web is struggling with.

Riot 2.0 is a "core" library and such controls can be build on top of it. No controls exist, since this is all very new.

What happened to Riot 1.0 though?

Riot 1.0 started liking what React did to views.
