		cayblood on Jan 22, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Riot – A React-like, 2.5K user interface library Your whole point about polyfilling really avoids the issue that web components/Polymer is trying to address. Of course polyfilling is needed now for that, but until we have it, we won't have truly reusable web components, and claiming Riot can substitute Polymer is therefore a pretty big bait and switch, cool though Riot.js may be.

I would say that Riot does very much what Polymer is trying to address - which is custom tags.

The implementation and syntax is different so it's not a drop- in replacement, but both have similar goals.
