Yeah, doesn't compete with React. If React were being used client side only (not isomorphic) then one can roughly do stuff like https://gist.github.com/priyajeet/c2731789d3a688ee85a9 (5-min hack)

You can do inter-module communication via messages. Notice the onmessage() inside the todo example here https://github.com/box/t3js/blob/master/examples/todo/js/mod...

As for $ dependency, a small discussion https://github.com/box/t3js/issues/12

Ah thanks for the info; didn't notice the onmessage. Still I'm biased towards my own messaging library but that's neat :)
