Wow - a lot of answers. Great community! First of all, just to clearify. My aim is to have smooth user experience while utilizing Django and replicate as little code as possible on the client and the server. Think, reuse of server code on the client.
I've looked at AngularJS and it has a rendering layer that doesn't work without JS. Hence, no google support since google still requires us to deliver HTML snapshot<https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started>. Which means it violate my first requirement. AngularJS doesn't seem to offer help in this regard.https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/angular/yClOeqR5DGc Almost all JS frameworks in the wild, violate simple SEO rules, so it's not confined to AngularJS at all. jQuery doesn't dictate client-side rendering. but doesn't offer any structure at all. Albeit it's great to build your own structure on top of. Thanks for the list of frameworks. I haven't look at Knockout yet but it seems to require JS to do it's data bindings. Cheers, Jon.
