Title: proposal for slot 2 - how ractive.js will make your life easier

> [Ractive.js](http://ractivejs.org) is a next-generation DOM manipulation library for creating reactive user interfaces, optimised for developer sanity. It was originally developed to create interactive news applications at theguardian.com

-blurb on [todomvc.com](http://todomvc.com/labs/architecture-examples/ractive/).

It takes a totally novel approach to interactive UI, one that bypasses the limitations of HTML as a language for building dynamic apps, without introducing a ton of hairy new concepts. This talk would give a quick overview of what it does and why it's needed, and why using it in your app is a lower risk than committing to a monolithic framework.

(would gladly take any slot btw)
