Agreed! I’m excited to see what comes out of this.
As an aside, if people here are looking for well-constructed patterns that maintain the Blaze split of data/view, check out this post. No helpers, access to template-scoped functions and data, and an overall (in my opinion) cleaner implementation of some of the main pieces of blaze. Since adopting this pattern, it’s hard to look back.
Also – Seeing posts like this, incorporating incremental dom, etc. is amazing to see, especially in light of how many times I recall seeing that “blaze is dying”…
