In React 16Hi nherment,
I appreciate your feeedback. To follow up on some of your concerns:
Top-level UI components can have state now:
class {
onCreate () {
this.state = {
count: 0
}
}
increment () {
this.state.count++;
}
}
<html>
<body>
<div onClick('increment')>Count: ${state.count}</div>
</body>
</html>
If Marko's built-in component state management is not sufficient, you can of course use Redux with Marko. Here's a sample app: https://github.com/marko-js-samples/marko-redux.
Marko does not have an "officially" supported router yet, but this is the one we've been pointing people to: https://github.com/charlieduong94/marko-path-router. If I understand your statement correctly, you mean that you would prefer to export the path directly from the componen

t? I agree that this should be supported. Currently, Marko does not support exports, but it's actually on our issues board https://github.com/marko-js/marko/issues/538. We'd like to support the following:
export var route = '/about';
class {
...
}
<div>About!</div>
This actually would be fairly easy to implement, but we've been focusing on other things. I think that we should reprioritize this issue though.
It's definitely true that we have a lot of features that we'd love to focus on and a very small team of engineers working on Marko/Lasso. I welcome you and anyone else to jump in and help if you'd like! Any contributions are extremely appreciated. Additionally, feel free to drop into the Marko Gitter chat with any concerns and we'll try to help https://gitter.im/marko-js/marko.

2 points · Open discussionTake a look at this example of relatively complicated component-tests w/ markojs. It is an example of testing a transcluded component's variation (arguably very valuable and complicated to test) and all the code, setup, tests, etc. are very straightforward to understand.

In Why Choose Vue.jsLink probably should be the main project page http://markojs.com/ or https://github.com/marko-js/marko – a Github release without any comment isn't all that interesting.
In Marko.js – v4.3.0It's incredibly fast, I still may try using https://github.com/marko-js/marko on v2 though since it seems to be much faster. Haven't really tried their plugin/system yet. I came from using Jade for like five years straight and when performance time came around with it, it hurt. Nunjucks is really nice!
In Ask HN: Do you have a profitable side project? How long did it take to achieve?you have to block all renders until all data fetching is complete.
Not if you use a server side templating engine that supports async rendering like MarkoJs [0][1].
