Pug vs RactiveJS: What are the differences?
Developers describe Pug as "Robust, elegant, feature rich template engine for nodejs". This project was formerly known as "Jade." Pug is a high performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml and implemented with JavaScript for Node.js and browsers. 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.
Pug and RactiveJS can be categorized as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.
"Elegant html" is the primary reason why developers consider Pug over the competitors, whereas "Lightweight" was stated as the key factor in picking RactiveJS.
Pug and RactiveJS are both open source tools. Pug with 18.4K GitHub stars and 1.9K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than RactiveJS with 5.67K GitHub stars and 440 GitHub forks.
Coursera, Key Location, and Sellsuki are some of the popular companies that use Pug, whereas RactiveJS is used by Teleport, LeVego, and Record Bird. Pug has a broader approval, being mentioned in 174 company stacks & 119 developers stacks; compared to RactiveJS, which is listed in 5 company stacks and 8 developer stacks.
