Moon's purpose is to provide an API similar to Vue, while being less than half of the size, and having improved performance in most cases. Why try and stop something new without giving any valid criticism? If we all have a mindset like this, the web isn't going to ever improve.
I don't understand the 'shit on something new because there are similar things' mentality. It is the antithesis of the hacker spirit.
If you really want to improve the web, we're gonna need to think a bigger than this...
Moon has the core features of Vue, but it's started going in a different direction. I'd love any feedback and to hear your thoughts :)
Second, that reaction isn't about not wanting to "make decisions"... that simplifies a rather complex set of thoughts and beliefs that are driven by the often-comical Javascript world, which appears to favour extreme complexity, constant churn and obsolescence, a near-complete absence of standards or best practices, duplication of effort, and fragmentation. Of course, the flipside of this is rapid evolution, competition in a marketplace of ideas, etc, etc.
Third, if you don't want people to see this effort as yet-another-UI-framework, it'd probably be a good idea to position the project as something other than "everyone else's good ideas, but smaller and faster" (lightly paraphrasing from the project landing page)!
I am by no means trying to force people to use Moon. Instead, I am trying to show something that you might want to consider if you use and like Vue, as it is smaller and faster.
I agree I might need to reposition this project and state a little more. But I've already clarified why I made this in an article I wrote[1].
And, I should just point out: the original commenter, and myself, may have our... let's call it lack of patience with the JS community. But don't be discouraged by a little bitterness... as you mention in your blog post, there's definitely javascript library fatigue out there, and for good reason. But if the work is good, it'll speak for itself! Everything else is just marketing, and if you're not interested in pushing the project toward broader adoption, just keep on keeping on! Either people will use it or they won't, and either way you'll have learned a lot along the way, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Moon's goal isn't to have complete API compatibility with Vue, but instead to have a light alternative with a similar API.
These are hard decisions.
