Shopify would use this to write the client-side parts. We can now save on a lot of server-side rendering of pages every time a request happens; instead we just send back JSON and Batman.js knows how to change the page accordingly.

We’re already using it internally for non-core projects like our phone support system (Batman.js + Faye + Adhearsion) – it makes for a really responsive web app that’s easy to maintain.

Expect to see this in the core Shopify product very soon :)
