It's because it's mostly based on the vue syntax short hands (@ for event, # for slots and : for attribute bindings, :: was also proposed at a time for model in vue too but it was still being discussed last time i checked)

Rather than using a v- prefix like vue has, mizu uses *, but it's essentially the same.

All in all, I feel like it's still pretty close to what vue offers, at least when you plug it directly to your html page without passing by the component/composition way of writing vue.

I took a lot from vue (maybe more petite-vue at this point) and alpine to make mizu actually
