fighting crime and kicking apps with Batman.js
summary
Batman.js claims a tiny microframework under 10K that drops templates in favor of DOM data- bindings and a powerful observer system so nodes update themselves. It ships conventions and generators, uses CoffeeScript, has optional persist via batman.rest and a Node server with websockets so the same code client and server runs models and validations. Demos include a to‑do and a Twitter comment app in <100 lines and a Tropo phone + Arduino crime demo that actually works, all emphasizing no templates* and fast startup.
