Omniscient vs. React vs. RequireJS vs. VBScript Comparison Chart

Do fast top-down rendering of views while thinking functional programming. Allow your views to be predictable, naturally separated, and composable, but still performant. Omniscient is to React as memoize is to the Fibonacci function. Functional programming for UIs. Memoization for stateless React components. Top-down rendering of components (unidirectional data flow). Favors immutable data (with Immutable.js). Encourages small, composable components, and shared functionality through mixins. Natural separation of concern. Components only deal with their own piece of data. Efficient and centrally defined. In its simplest form, an Omniscient component is a Stateless React Component, but more optimized. Omniscient is just as much a way to think when you are building applications as a library itself. As Omniscient is wrapped in a UMD you can use it many different ways, through CommonJS, AMD, or just through the window object.

RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and Node. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code. This setup assumes you keep all your JavaScript files in a "scripts" directory in your project. To take full advantage of the optimization tool, it is suggested that you keep all inline script out of the HTML, and only reference require.js with a requirejs call like so to load your script. All of them map to loading some/path/some/module.js. Ideally we could choose the CommonJS syntax, since it is likely to get more common over time, and we want to reuse code.
