#3Very cool! See also El, which is similarly sized, with an arguably more natural reactive interface: https://github.com/frameable/el

#4> VanJS has the vision to be the scripting language for UI, just like bash is the scripting language for terminal.
I find this quite strange. Wouldn’t javascript be to the browser what Bash is for the terminal? This is after all just another library.

#5I really don't want to be that guy, but... Vanilla JavaScript already exists as a popular term for JavaScript without any framework. No jQuery, no React - just JavaScript. Calling a library VanJS (as short for "Vanilla JavaScript") is just going to cause confusion.
The repo's own description uses the phrase vanilla JavaScript in this way, and even mixes both meanings within a single sentence.
If the author likes the theme, I'm sure they can still use it indirectly. eg. "icecream.js: add a scoop of vanilla to your project". Or "Go nuts and sprinkle in some Reactive syntax". It's still very punnable, I assure you.

Yea kinda felt the same, when reading the name and desc. Whats the value of names or terms if we keep reassigning a different meaning to it ? Especially in the tech industry.
Also it's almost immoral calling "a new" project "lightweight" and "small". Of course it is lightweight and small, it's a new project ! Wait for bug submissions, feature requests, feature parity, time, edge cases etc.
Anywhoo congrats on shipping something.

Yes, please be that guy. Or I'll do it.
Vanilla Javascript refers indeed to "javascript without a framework". So creating a framework and calling it "vanilla javascript" is... wrong?

#9I thought this was gonna be terrible but it actually looks pretty nice. It reminds me of Nim's Karax.

#10nice project, very cool, but I don't see the meaning to do this.
nowadays, most small project can use vanilla javascript, if they don't need a framework, they really don't need it.
if we are building a large project, why not use react/vue/svelte ? better docs, better features, better community.
