Which Javascript framework? #25

Closed Hywan closed 9 years ago

Hywan commented 9 years ago

Competitors:

I don't like Angular. Even if it is Google powered, they were not able to ensure BC for a long time and it's too heavy.

React mainly addresses view and not controller and model. The project has still not reached the glorious 1.0 version.

Ember is cool. I don't know the framework a lot but it looks simple to use and we are not going to do very complex stuff I guess, so I can work with this one without any problem.

Finally, Mithril is more like Ember but lighter. However, I don't know a lot about the future of Mithril. These is a good number of followers and users but still less than Ember.

Thoughts?

So it sounds like we pretty much have the same thoughts on this :) My only issue with ember is that it was developed by the guys who were behind sproutcore which was a disaster :P But I believe that they've learned from their mistakes and then created ember

Sproutcore was not such a disaster, but yup, Ember seems much better. I will try to get more feedbacks from some “expert friends” also. The more feedbacks we have, the better.

Just came across this presentation on Ember and React, maybe interesting.

Hywan commented 9 years ago

@DominikTo Thanks!

Hywan commented 9 years ago

@DominikTo This presentation is largely in favor of React… I am bit of confused :-p.

DominikTo commented 9 years ago

To me it seemed to admit that React "has some cool stuff", but that Ember is on it's way to catch up/implement the good stuff.

Hywan commented 9 years ago

@DominikTo Same feeling.
