SproutCore 2.0 Announcement

Yehuda Katz announced a significant fork and re-architecture of SproutCore, dubbed SproutCore 2.0, aiming for a simpler, more opinionated approach to front-end development.

Significance

This was the direct precursor to Ember.js, laying the conceptual groundwork and attracting the initial developer interest that would soon coalesce into a new framework.
