Description

It would be nice to make the React dependency more modular. All of the React specific code lies in the idyll-components and idyll-document modules.

The components are implemented in react and would need to be re-implemented using whatever other framework one wanted to plug in (unless there is a meta component specification that exists and works across frameworks?)

The runtime (aka idyll-document) needs to read in the AST and instantiate the application. We'd need to to some work documenting all the behavior to make it feasible to re-implement with other frameworks, but I don't think it would be too bad.
