This API feels as significant to me as Reactive Extensions did when Netflix first debuted it. Thank you for this research! I have a lot to think about!
Very neat, looking forward to playing around with this. We are sorely in need of of more exploration into UX/UI, HCI of the current era of digital tools.

Is there any hope this could be turned into a vanilla js library and not attached to a particular SPA framework?

Anyone have an idea of what stack/technique would be used to accomplish a task that this is widely superior for. The work seems cool but I'm having trouble imagining what is it replacing.
Edit: nvm, answered by the Background section of the paper

We will continue to reinvent dataflow and planning problems until the end of time; you will be surprised how many fundamental pieces of software use this paradigm

technically all of them since hardware itself is basically a dataflow system

Speculative rendering sounds awfully expensive.

It’s just rendering? I don’t see why it would be more expensive

Rendering in this context means producing an element tree, or a textual description of one, which is capable of firing off many little (slow) allocations. The implication being that this will not scale to a large number of nodes without slogging the machine unduly.

If it's in memory and off-screen, i think it won't be that slow even for many elements. The actual issue might be the garbage collection pauses, which might become noticeable.

Fantastic work!
The interactive demos are incredibly satisfying to play with, visually delightful, and genuinely educational.
