Could updating the DOM directly instead of the virtual dom get any advantage for elm? (the way it does for svelte)

An alternative to virtual DOM < 20x faster!

Hello guys, Have anyone checked Imba? It’s a very interesting programming language that compiles to Javascript. It uses a technique that’s explained here and in this screencast which they call imperative DOM even though you write declarative code. The concept itself is pretty simple, andthis DOM reconciler benchmark (yes, it was written by the writer of Imba) gives very interesting results. Also try editing the number of todos in the top left and for 60 todos, Imba is 40x times faster than R…
