We need a way of organising the pieces of our web applications into discrete components that can be developed/tested independently and composed into a fast User Interface/Experience.
Web Components are going to revolutionize the web. Eventually.
Sadly, there is not yet widespread adoption for the Web Component spec.
Even though Google Chrome supports all the pieces of Web Components and has over 50% Market Share, Internet Explorer and Safari are still lagging behind: http://caniuse.com/#search=components
The current status is "working draft" see: http://www.w3.org/standards/techs/components#w3c_all
which means the finer details are still being debated by the W3C,
which means we might sill have a few months (years?) to wait...
So, while we wait for Internet Explorer to catch up, we are using Riot because its much smaller and thus faster-to-learn than everything else out there...
A quick introduction to the Riot.js client side MVP library for people who want to build minimalist apps.
Imagine React went on a diet and got better syntax, that's Riot.js.

Searching YouTub for riot.js https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=riot.js there are thousands of results. If you are totally new to Riot and want a "Why Riot" overview,
If you are wondering how you can require() a .tag file
( that is not .js or .json -
the standard files you require in node.js )
The answer is simple: when you require('riot')
the riot module extends node's native require method
(this is JavaScirpt after all, everything is accessible/mutable)
which means that require() understands how to load a .tag file.
