What Hacker News says?

  1. I was enjoying lurking, reading some of the freak out around what amounts to spending a day or a week learning a new framework. Whether you believe that this JS theatre is good or bad, learning new concepts and solutions is never a waste of time, even if only to internally validate some other method. But if you thought that being a competent software engineer only required a one-time, upfront educational cost you pr…

    Excellent blog post to introduce the vue.js concepts ( http://blog.evanyou.me/2015/10/25/vuejs-re-introduction/ ). I was able to get up and running pretty quickly with a good understanding of the tool. Thank you for putting this together.

  5. Author here - thanks for the submission, I was actually planning to do it tomorrow :) Anyway, for those of you who are not familiar with Vue, here's a blog post explaining why it's worth taking a look at: http://blog.evanyou.me/2015/10/25/vuejs-re-introduction/

  9. Gulp seems more like a feature and less like a build system. In fact: http://blog.evanyou.me/2013/12/29/gulp-piping/ and https://github.com/wearefractal/vinyl-fs Grunt works just fine. Make is probably ok once you learn it. It is a shame that we as a community don't take time to create amazing tutorials for our older tools like we do with our newer ones. I think the main issue ends up being that github has created a…

  11. 1) Vue itself has little to do with FRP. "Reactive" doesn't necessarily imply FRP in any way. However it's pretty easy to use Vue with RxJS: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-rx 2) & 3): See http://blog.evanyou.me/2015/10/25/vuejs-re-introduction/ and http://vuejs.org/guide/comparison.html

  13. This can be a useful alternative for small web apps similar to how AlpineJS is but please don't call it an alternative to Vue. As a matter of fact Evan You (the creator of Vue) himself created a blog post about this topic (1) (1) https://blog.evanyou.me/2013/11/04/simplify/

    This blog post is a great and thorough introduction to Vue.js: http://blog.evanyou.me/2015/10/25/vuejs-re-introduction/ Writing components in single files is mighty nice (w/ or w/o pre-processors): http://blog.evanyou.me/images/vue-component.png And it looks like a flux approach is in the works: https://github.com/vuejs/vuex

  17. I really like VueJS and I actually think it is a pretty safe choice. While it has been gaining a lot of momentum recently (especially in the Laravel community were it has become the default frontend framework), it has actually been around for well over 2 years. Evan talks about the stability of the project more here: http://blog.evanyou.me/2015/10/25/vuejs-re-introduction/ Another really important point is that Evan…
