If asked to choose which JS/TS FSM I respect most outside my own, I would have a hard time choosing between `xState` and `stent`. I think it's an excellent choice.
David has done a better job of making a nice setup. His tooling is cleaner. `xState` is slightly faster than `jssm`. `xState` is much more widely used than `jssm` (several orders of magnitude,) meaning that it is more trustworthy. He has more tutorials. He has more community. His documentation is not literally on fire.
I believe that my testing is significantly better. My library offers more features, including some fun exotic stuff like stochastic search. Whereas we both offer datastructure consumers (and they're similar,) I also offer a string DSL that is regularly 1/20 the byte count of the datastructure implementation. Terseness matters a lot to me. My typescript support is better. I have a live editor which I find has high value for understanding and debugging.
I guess in my impression, my biggest thing is the string language (super dense, super easy) and his biggest thing is his community (you can ask people questions)
Otherwise, in my impression we're quite similar. We both offer all the standard things; we both offer a visualizer; our visualizers look pretty similar because they're built on similar underpinnings.
Being honest, I'd say he's winning. But, not by much, and there are clear reasons to choose one over the other according to preferences, so please try both.
