Hey hacker news, I'm one of the primary authors of Thorax. Was rather surprised to find this on the front page as we are in the middle of revamping our docs and developer tools and weren't quite ready for press yet. We are working on a yeoman generator that sets you up with a Grunt + RequireJS project here:
I would recommend cloning that repo, running npm link then using it if you want to give Thorax a try. We'll be doing some more press about Thorax in a month or two.
For context, Walmart currently uses Thorax in production on mobile.walmart.com and we are working on a few other web apps that aren't public yet. It's not as sexy as Ember or Angular in many ways but it's a framework that grew directly out of building a very large Backbone application.
