Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Fast rendering
Update of single element, no diff like react.
Pro Compact and easy syntax
CanJS has an easy to learn syntax.
Pro Great tooling and language support
Very good CLI and webpack, bundling, testing, deployment support. Deep TypeScript integration and support.
Cons
Con Hard to find resources outside of the official ones
Since CanJS is not very popular, it can be hard to find learning resources, tutorials, guides or any other resource that may help development.
Con Slightly over-engineered
Very enterprisey - made for huge architectures and with tons of declarative, non-intuitive annotations it makes it overkill for very small projects.
Con Native i18n support over-engineered
Not developer-friendly. Switching languages need reloading the whole page. There are third party solutions that work better.
