- stronglikedan 13y agoUnfortunately, they all start out this way it seems. Hopefully, this one will remain this way.
- tluyben2 13y agoThe way to keep it that way is to never add even 1 new feature and only fix bugs. That's not a bad idea actually; if you don't, it'll end up like every other framework on earth. So it's a good niche to say 'this is it' and keep it exactly like that even though it 'lacks features'.
- stronglikedan 13y agoI like that idea. Keep the core frozen. With a good API, users can extend it to their liking, and complicate it all they want.
- iLoch 13y agoSorta like Backbone... People definitely love adding plugins and definitely don't count it as a negative when comparing to other JS MVC frameworks......
- Touche 13y agoBut this was built to solve problems the author was having at the time he/she created it. In the future, as the web evolves, those problems will change, and you're saying the framework shouldn't adapt to solve new problems?
- tluyben2 13y agoI'm saying that's the only way to keep it from entering the inevitable malignant growth phase frameworks enter in after a bit because the author / community wants it to do everything. And we already have a ton of those, some popular, most not.
