I believe the constraints chosen could be summarized as
1. the code you write must parse as valid JS
2. you must be able to write traditional JS
3. we want the equivalent of the Destiny Operator https://paulstovell.com/reactive-programming/

See http://stackoverflow.com/a/4120034/168719 - that's the highest rated answer for the question "What is the simplest way to bind a group of 3 radiobuttons to a property of type int for values 1, 2, or 3?" Do I really need to say more :) Or http://blog.wouldbetheologian.com/2009/07/why-wpf-databinding-is-awful… or http://paulstovell.com/blog/six-years-of-wpf - he also raises an important point: WPF never made any significant progress. I'm under impression that I've once seen a better article that sums it all up (consistently with my own experience), but I can't find it now, so these will have to do
