Performance claims look promising
From 2 comments
The performance improvements are impressive if they translate to real-world apps, however speed is only one of the reasons I use Vue.js. The other big reasons are stability and…

Simple API similar to Vue

Objections
Unproven compared to established frameworks like Vue and React
From 2 comments
Looks good, but a slight improvement in speed is not enough IMHO to switch from a proven, popular framework (like React or Vue). I think it takes a radical take on the problem to…

Questions
How the compiler detects static nodes and how it avoids GC pressure
From 1 comment
How does Moon automatically detect static virtual nodes? What makes Moon faster than the alternatives? Finally, how does Moon avoid GC pressure with large trees?

How much faster than Vue and how it was measured
From 1 comment
You say it's faster than Vue, but how much, how did you measure?

nkkollaw on HNCool... looks like Mithril:React;Moon:Vue, as they're only 1kb different. Wonder if Moon also benefits from low-latency like Mithril does.
