There was a good interview [1] with Dominic, the author, a month ago, where he covered much of the design rationale behind Inferno. And he's on HN [2], and his comments often offer valuable insight as well. In a strange twist, he also just joined Facebook to work on React [3], so some of his ingenuity will find its way into React in the future. Meanwhile, Inferno is now run by a team of core committers [4].
