If it's a template then it's a very complex one, and under closer inspection it reads almost like storing code in a string and evalling it. Let's say we want to iterate over commits in reverse. A google shows that we can do something like this: v-for="item in items | orderBy 'field' -1" So, there's pipes now, and Vue has essentially re-invented a programming language inside HTML attributes. But then comes this exampl…

I don't know if you haven't had much experience with templating engines, but having the ability to write programmatic expressions to make a layout dynamic is a basic necessity that pretty much every known templating engine has. "It reads like storing code in a string and evalling it" sounds very funny in this context because that's exactly what every solution does and it works pretty well in practice.

What happened to emberjs? It was poised to become the next big thing after react and angular and suddenly nobody talks about it anymore.

It was the 3rd most popular in 2016, and 4th most popular in 2017-2018. It didn't go anywhere. Vue.js just became more popular for whatever reason.

I feel like I'm in an alien world when it comes to Vue - it has this weird pattern of making strings do loads of heavy lifting. The Github Commits[1] example on their documentation has a load of stuff that just doesn't sit right with me. Things like v-for="record in commits" to loop over something is insane to me - this isn't code, this is a string inside a html attribute! How can you get any sort of good type analys…

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a thing called Coldfusion. And js peeps seem to want to reinvent it.

Templating is the wrong approach. Component-based approaches where you use polymorphism rather than putting logic in your templates are much better. Look at Wicket for a HTML UI framework done right, IMO.

I'd clap harder if Vue weren't so desperate to become React and focus on their own strengths. React certainly appealed to a lot of devs who at best disliked working with HTML & CSS, but Vue welcomed everyone with an excellent gentle slope to gently move devs away from direct Dom manipulation and embrace reactive paradigms. Folks with small shops could now refactor their codebases with relative ease. If only the Vue t…

All JS frameworks will share some features. What specifically about Vue do you think is unnecessary or shows that the Vue team doesn't understand?
