 It may sound expensive to recompute an entire view any time there's a change to be displayed, but this operation actually turns out to be quite fast, compared to rendering strategies used by older frameworks. Mithril's diffing algorithm makes sure expensive DOM operations are performed only if absolutely necessary, and as an extra benefit, the global nature of the redraw makes it easy to reason about and troubleshoot the state of the application.

+	},
+	view: function(ctrl, args) {
+		return m("h1", ctrl.greeting + " " + args.data)

+	m.component(component, {data: "world"})
