Dust vs RactiveJS: What are the differences?
Developers describe Dust as "Asynchronous templates for the browser and node.js". Dust is a JavaScript templating engine designed to provide a clean separation between presentation and logic without sacrificing ease of use. It is particularly well-suited for asynchronous and streaming applications. On the other hand, RactiveJS is detailed as "Next-generation DOM manipulation". Ractive was originally created at theguardian.com to produce news applications. Ractive takes your Mustache templates and transforms them into a lightweight representation of the DOM – then when your data changes, it intelligently updates the real DOM.
Dust and RactiveJS can be primarily classified as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.
Dust and RactiveJS are both open source tools. RactiveJS with 5.67K GitHub stars and 440 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Dust with 1.48K GitHub stars and 136 GitHub forks.
