So I'm still skeptical... because the branding, presence and everything is just way too professional to make me believe he's done this alone. I also believe that he's using multiple HN profiles to manipulate visibility (there are a number of profiles who's first comment is this on this post). However, I do believe he is legit about his age. Searching for his name, I found this old CodePen account: https://codepen.io/KingKabir/ There's a link in there to: http://www.main180.tk That link is expired, but it showed up in this Quora from 2015: https://www.quora.com/Should-an-11-year-old-know-full-stack-... Looking in the wayback machine, you can see what content his site used to have: https://web.archive.org/web/20151231214946/http://www.main18...

st of them? I didn't count, but the last entry on that site was in March 2016 (https://180projectblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/24/bubble/) Moon was started in July 2016 (https://github.com/kbrsh/moon/commit/2e38db7571adf64c9192cfe...). So while I'm still skeptical about his presence, I think it seems plausible that he is who he says he is, but that doesn't mean he's done it alone, etc, etc.

In the Moon.js Repository [1], it said you've been developing Moon.js since late 2015. So that means you've been building it since 11 years old? That's really cool! I want to hear your stories sometimes. But more importantly, keep making awesome things! [1] https://github.com/kbrsh/moon

indeed, it is; i don't need to tell you, though :p when i originally asked the author to submit Moon to js-framework-benchmark [1] i was surprised to hear that Moon's users have never needed or asked for keyed updates [2]. there are some authors (myself included) that consider libs without keyed DOM reconciliation to be seriously deficient.

In Show HN: Moon – fast 7k Vue alternative
I've been a web developers for 5 years like the author, and, I as well, went through the jQuery, Knockout, Backbone, React, Vue road. On my daily job I use Node & React/Redux, on personal projects, I prototype in Python using bottle and vanilla JavaScript with axios[1]. Before, I wanted to use the latest stack, maybe looking for approval from the "community", something like: "Hey, I'm building a X app with Express, React, React Router, Redux, Immutable..." But by the time I had the basic setup, my motivation was gone (at that time there was no react-starter-app[2]). So I'd say you should start with whatever you are most comfortable, doesn't matter if it's React or jQuery. The goal, IMO, is to start building stuff. Now, I just don't care what's the latest JS framework, I don't dislike them, all the opposite, I get excited about them[3], bu
