1) Another full stack JS Framework? What makes this special?
2) What interest does Motorola have in JS Frameworks?
* very fast, realtime, two way, object to object bindings (non DOM based)
* reusable components built using regular HTML, where markup and behavior are completely separated (see the .reel directories under ui/)
* based on CommonJS, with complete script dependency loading
Edit:samples now up at http://tetsubo.org/docs/montage/samples/
We are also developing an HTML5 and Montage authoring tool, built using Montage: https://github.com/Motorola-Mobility/ninja
Why is Motorola releasing this? What kind of risk that it will not be supported and the platform left to wither?
How does Montage compare with Knockout.js? The latter is more incremental, and seems to be a safer choice.
Largely, they are right. But the time invested in doing so could often be spent elsewhere, while your data-bound forms work "just fine".
