From 3 comments
This looks really awesome - like a fully grown up Backbone.js! The nested/complex modeling, thoughtful subview handling, and ability to use backends other than rails/rest pretty…
calebgilbert on HNWhat I really like is that hr.js isn't built on Backbone, it rather is highly-inspired by it. That's a BIG advantage over things like Marionette/Chaplin/etc, because Backbone has…

Comparisons with Marionette, Chaplin, Ember and others
From 3 comments
