In this thread there are lots of references to various libraries but they are not all the same and serve different purposes.
I like sugar.js and ractive.js sugar.js is similar to underscore.js+moments.js and it extends basic objects like Date, Array, and String so that they have more methods. ractive.js is a reactive template language. That means you do not decide when to render the template (as in typical jQuery templates or web2py templates) but when data changes (clientside data in js), the page is automatically updated. This is an example http://learn.ractivejs.org/two-way-binding/1/ [click on "fix code" to see it working. ractive has lots of overlap with angular but angular constraints you a lot because of the concept of scope and requires that you follow lots of conventions. For example angular Promises leave inside the scope and the scope to a controller which, in their jargon, is a piece of a web page. What if you need Promises in function defined outside the scope because they are shared across controllers? Moreover the complexity of the syntax for defining controller grows in complexity as soon as you try do something non-trivial. I find ractive to be more intuitive. I am tempted to say Angular is to Django as Ractive is to web2py.
