This comment would be spot on 2 years ago, but once you try libraries like Ractive or React, it's iOS/Android that begin to feel ancient. How do they not have data binding in 2014?

Also, having to maintain a separate codebase for each platform just seems inefficient. The solution doesn't have to be Javascript (could be C#), though Ractive and React make it surprisingly pleasant to write JS.

You know that one of the main things that React(w/flux) tries to fix is all the errors made because of data binding..

I use that term loosely to mean that my even-handlers only have to update the component's data, and the library takes care of updating the view.

That said, I've used Ractive for a while (on my own time), and haven't run into any issues. But I'm curious to know more and would like to try it out. Could you give me an example where data binding would cause errors?

Only if you never tried XAML Data Bindings.

I'm assuming you're talking about Xamarin? If so, $1000/yr is pretty expensive for small teams.
