Show HN: Moon – a tiny 6kb Javascript library inspired by Vue.js

Moon is faster, only 6kb, has a more powerful templating engine, and a much simpler API. On the other hand, Marionette is a MVC library, and has more functionality.

Moon is just a view library, the other parts can be added in with moon-router [1] and moon-ssr [2].

Moon's benefit, that I can see, is Vue's syntax.

I honestly don't see much similarity

Yes, but Moon's goal is to have syntax similar to Vue's, and as a result, requires an HTML template compiler, Javascript expression compiler, directive compiler, and different component logic.

RE:DOM doesn't have any of these, but only has a virtual DOM engine (which Moon has as well).

with the difference between sizes being a few kb, I don't think that they would entirely matter. What really does is execution rate. Which one performs more efficiently. If the end result is DOM, it doesn't matter what syntax you're using, the client is the most important part

I wonder what Safari's problem is?

It works just as well as Vue on my Android in Firefox, Chrome and even the Android Browser.

Not sure what the problem is, all tests for Moon pass on Safari, and it works on my iPhone 6s on iOS 10.

Can you let me know if any demos in the Getting Started[1] guide work?
