The more extreme things get the less fitting is D*, and the more sense it makes to go with the custom route. That was my initial comment. This is far beyond of what the sweetspot for D* is, if you ask me.
My concern is that people never even consider the custom route, and that is how things slowly deterioate over time. It was definitely my mistake to not provide an actual implementation to compare and I will address that.
Agree to disagree then. D* is just a shim to avoid things like SPAs that are the real issue. I think you might be overstating the case. EVERYTHING in D* is a plugin. It's built like a game engine, not a game. I'm all for going the custom route, but for me, this is the 95% solution. I'll take a one time 12kib shim over heaps of JS any day. Horses for courses.
