And then I saw this http://technogems.blogspot.com/2013/08/can-pyjamas-rise-from-its-ashes.html blog post and I noticed that the git repo there was more active with commits.

So much so that much inferier alternatives to this approach are gaining more steam than pyjamas. It saddens me to see it. Thats all.
