Clean and simple, close to Rails philosophy

On a completely different note, I think this looks fantastic. There are so many javascript frameworks out there but none of them have really approached the cleanliness and…
jenius on HNWow - this looks really awesome. The ability to use haml is a nice touch too.

Well documented with in-depth guides
From 2 comments
I didn't have the time to study the project in depth, but it looks very promising, well documented, and it also looks like an approach that I was looking for in other frameworks.…

Tight integration with Rails
From 2 comments
I dig this. I've been using Ember + Rails and it still feels like client-side frameworks are reinventing a lot of server-side wheels because you still need a server-side layer…
MattRogish on HNI agree - none of the other frameworks I've tried have felt right, but this looks like a great fit with Rails - we'll see if I feel the same way after using it though :)

Objections

From 2 comments
I can't get past this (let alone the why of another MV*) - Why sugar.js? 6731 lines of bloat. This is going to turn off a great number of developers out the gates.
sic1 on HNI'm obviously opinionated on this point (backbone/underscore user), it just seems like it comes with so much i wont ever user - and could easily add via a mixin on a per project…

From 1 comment
Joosy seems to be missing real 2-way data binding of Angularjs/Knockout.js/Serenade.js/Batman.js, even if it can automatically re-render views. Looks like it still keeps the…

Reusing JavaScript code on other platforms like Node.js is hard
From 2 comments
What the fuck is going to happen when I need to reuse my JavaScript code on a different platform e.g NodeJS, vert.x etc? I'm sorry for negative comments but, what ruby and .net…
combataircraft on HNAll the JavaScript and templating code should be reusable by other platforms with no effort. It's required for testing, optimization and being able to move from one technology to…

Why Sugar.js instead of Underscore

combataircraft on HNYou just take it and use it. Joosy doesn't make to write you code in some special way (except CoffeeScript but it can be used with node.js). What's for binding parts (pages,…

MattRogish on HNTake Ember for example. Joosy is only 2-3kb more including Sugar. Compare the profit. One framework can not (and should never try to) address everything. Sugar beats Underscore…
