Inferno vs winjs: What are the differences?
What is Inferno? A fast, React-like JavaScript library for building UIs. Inferno is an isomorphic library for building high-performance user interfaces, which is crucial when targeting mobile devices. Unlike typical virtual DOM libraries like React, Mithril, Virtual-dom, Snabbdom and Om, Inferno uses techniques to separate static and dynamic content. This allows Inferno to only "diff" renders that have dynamic values.
What is winjs? A UI toolkit for modern browsers, by Microsoft. WinJS is a set of JavaScript toolkits that allow developers to build applications using HTML/JS/CSS technology forged with the following principles in mind: 1.

Provide developers with a cohesive set of components and utilities to build the scaffolding and infrastructure of their applications'.
