Comment on Rivets.js - Binding data to views

Comments

Every time we move away from this ugly logic embedded in the view idea some Rube Goldberg fan (probably with a java struts or other such messy room coding) stacks this stuff back into the world. The fact of the matter is program problems are never difficult enough to merit this kind of abstraction and if in some future where this is necessary it certainly won't be this version or in this syntax.

To summarize; Not only do I think this is excessive beyond MVC, but it is also jumping the gun by a decade minimum. I don't need smarty templates, I don't need overloaded HTML attributes and I don't need this. Good day to you.

So how would you solve updating a view after rendering? Do you want your view to know about the markup in your template.

I'm really curious, is there a better way?
