knockout.JS is the real king everything you see around now is just a successor idk i feel it’s exact honest representation of what the data flow look like it’s deterministic as hell you can’t escape waterfalls dooming even in the OG knockout.JS idk what if it had a build time compiler step to just generate the static dependency graph in the original Knockout, the runtime has to find the dependencies by watching the stack in your version, compiler would scan the data-bind expressions and the ViewModel, generating an Execution Plan before the code ever runs Knockout is notoriously bad at handling async tasks. compiled knockout would use Reactivity-as-a-Pipeline $binding(Price) .map(v => v * Tax) .pipe(v => v.toFixed(2)) .toDOM("#price-display"); compiler takes that pipeline and turns it into a hardcoded path so there is no function wrapper , no observable observer simply just :) price changes Value goes to the map function , goes to toFixed , Value touches the DOM knockout should have win :(
