Check out this talk: http://vimeo.com/92687646 At around 30:00, he talks about why Angular's two-way binding is evil, and why React's approach makes more sense. In short, tw…

From what I heard, Telegram was intended as a testbed and the team didn't quite expect the exposure it received. This is going to be a separate product from Telegram. Durov knows what focus is, h…
