cell vs Marko: What are the differences?

cell: A self-driving web app framework. cell is a self-constructing web app framework powered by a self-driving DOM. Learning cell is mostly about understanding how cell works, and not about how to use and memorize some API methods, because there is no API; Marko: An isomorphic UI framework similar to Vue. Marko is a really fast and lightweight HTML-based templating engine that compiles templates to readable Node.js-compatible JavaScript modules, and it works on the server and in the browser. It supports streaming, async rendering and custom tags.

cell and Marko belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by cell are:

• Self contained - each element is its own universe (context) with its own variables and functions
• Self driving - each element communicates with outside world via stateless function calls. This means each cell can survive on its own and plug into anything with zero overhead/footprint.
• No API - cell is all about how you structure your logic and not about learning how to use some proprietary API.

On the other hand, Marko provides the following key features:

• Extremely fast
• Streaming and async rendering
• Progressive HTML rendering

cell and Marko are both open source tools. Marko with 9.08K GitHub stars and 565 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than cell with 1.55K GitHub stars and 103 GitHub forks.
