Virtual DOM and diffing algorithm

There was a [great article][1] about how react implements it's virtual DOM. There are some really interesting ideas in there but they are deeply buried in the implementation of the React framework.

However, it's possible to implement just the virtual DOM and diff algorithm on it's own as a set of independent modules.

Expectations

I took the ideas presented here and built a gem called Mustard. Check it out!

There are several expectation/assertion interfaces available for writing tests/specs. Here are some issues I have with them.

Test::Unit/MiniTest

• The order of assert_equals feels backwards
• Oh wait, that should be assert_equal (that too)
