Ember

Ember eliminates boilerplates and provides a standard application architecture on which developers can build their application using a suite of well-organized, tested JavaScript components.

Ember has quite a reputation in the open source and JavaScript community, being recognized as one of the best JS frameworks around, and being trusted and used in production environments by companies like Yahoo!, Groupon, Square, Zendesk, Discourse, and LivingSocial.

Under the hood, Ember continues the work of Sproutcore 2.0.
