Riot.js & MicroJS, a misplaced initiative

I was recently asked for my opinion about Riot.js and what I thought about the MicroJS movement, as part of my residency for the wonderful Hacker Retreat initiative. Here's my thoughts.

Looking at the source, Riot.js is only a jQuery based event emitter you can attach to instances called observable with a trivial router that aliases to pushState. Everything else, you create, including the the CRUD abilities.

As someone who've recently tried to go Micro.js. I've actually given up on this rebuild from the ground up style approach. There is no support, no documentation, and no community to help you accomplish big prime time applications. Once you hit a wall, or try do to something that isn't included in the trivial amount of code there is, you're on your own, with no help besides "figure it out! that's what micro.js is about!".

This problem at it's
