Description

It would be great to leverage the power of Tapestry5 Asset pipeline and Request dispatcher to gracefully handle the build of Facebook React (http://facebook.github.io/react/index.html) based componets.

The main objective for this new module would be to free the developer to build Facebook React components and have them naturally binded to Tapestry5 page events.

Tapestry5 and Facebook React share the same component model and event delegation concepts, the Tapestry5 Asset pipeline can be enhanced to compile, compress and minify at runtime JSX files while the Request dispather coupled with the REST friendly generated URL can make this pretty easy to develop one page app within Tapestry5 leveraging all the performance (development and runtime) provided by the framework.

I'm more then willing to mentor this project.
