Because it looks like virtual-dom is very well suited for how hplayground works. It's very efficient in rerendering the DOM tree when you have local changes. It's also very fast, see
http://elm-lang.org/blog/Blazing-Fast-Html.elm

Purescipt because it has a lot of speed in development (libraries) and generates in general leaner javascript. But I have no particular objections against Haste :-)

Maybe you should port hplayground to purescript and virtual-dom :-)

why? for some special reason?

I did the todo application, (see todomvc.com) to check if the concept was expressive and robust enough to do it:


 I think that the model works and the haste compiler works very well too. I don´t know any serious limitation.  "wcallback" generates spurious DOM elements and so on, but that can be fixed.

Well, it is not a hack. It is the way hplayground works . normally it rewrite the HTML DOM of the implicit divs that are below  the event source. "at" permits to assign freely that location.

Okay, I see.

3. Are you yourself aware of any serious limitations of your approach?
