The best part about Vue is it isn’t sponsored by giant evil corporation like Facebook who have enabled violence and racism for the past 4 years. We as developers need to do better and support people like Evan out there. Eventually, we should also hold individual engineers who work at Facebook/similar accountable to a higher standard and reject their software even if it’s open source or wonderful (React).

There is no need to bring politics into software development wherever possible. I don't care who has written the code, code itself is apolitical.

This. I wholeheartedly agree.

Which is why I disagree with Vue (and others) putting gigantic BLM banners on their sites.

Even if the cause is just, by mixing in politics, you create less of a common ground for those working on and using the code, thus creating rifts where there need not be any. Everything becomes "us" and "them".

I wish the submitter added their comment or gave some context, if there is any. For me this is an arbitrary number for a random popular repository. Especially since the linked github project https://github.com/vuejs/vue is not the latest version of vue (see: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next ).

I think this is a good thing generally, Vue has consistently been one of the best engineered and most effectively designed pieces of software in the Javascript world, largely due to uncompromising enforcement of the design opinions and aesthetics it asserts. As long as the maintainers are responsive to bug fixes and key feature requirements (since they aren’t accepting of outside contributors adding them), then this…

I think the opposite: it's a sign that your API is too wide and users expect more special cases and edge features to solve their needs.

I will talk about accepting outside contributions in a general sense (beyond JS and Julia comparisons). In my personal experience, the acceptance rates doesn't really matter and does not correlate to the quality of the code. On one hand, you have SQLite which really discourages direct code submissions due to the nature of the IP management of SQLite (they need to ensure that it is 100% in public domain), instead rely…

Why can't you use sqlite in js projects?

This is for the old version of vue (v2), not the current vue (v3). This title should read: Vue accepts 70% of outside contributions on latest version and only 23% on old version.

Vue 3 included a re-write in Typescript. The Vue team was very vocal in the benefits TS would bring, including making it easier for outsiders to contribute.

> code itself is apolitical I suggest you read Larry Lessig's Code 2.0 book.

You could at least post a link or say why this is a good book to read. While we are suggesting books I think "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" is a great work highlighting the political motives behind the making of the 20th centuries most important "tool".

GP misses the quality of engineering that goes into sqlite when dealing with JS projects.

You say acceptance rate doesn't correlate with code quality and then you give 2 data points where it does correlate in the expected way.

We may all agree, but that doesn't change the fact that it increasingly isn't nowdays.

With corps controlling main dev portals it will stay with us unless we have decentralized platform.

Yeah there is a fine between espousing and radically shoving down someones throat a political point of view. The former is commendable the later is often divisive.
