I'm very happy to see React and Vue influence each other. They definitely are the highest quality frameworks out there and having two different research teams only improves the overall quality of the ecosystem.

I'm a React fan, yet I really applaud all the nice stuff which is coming in Vue 3. Well done.

Similarly, I'm a Vue fan, and them having to keep up with and learn from React's moves keeps it solid. I am very happy with recent updates to Vue and their framework is a pleasure to develop with (the tradeoff being a certain level of power that React provides that Vue cannot obtain, but it's plenty).

What power does React offer you that Vue can't? It'd be quite interesting to hear your take on it.

Being able to tell everyone that you know react.

Exporting reactive JS native apps for iOS and Android is the most significant feature -- was what I would have said.

I looked it up before writing this comment, and apparently Vue introduced this in June 2018. Case in point of this comment thread :)

With vue native you can use anything from the react native community in a vue application. You get the best of both worlds!

The funny thing is that that’s built on top of react native isn’t it?

I thought this was the preferred option? https://nativescript-vue.org/

nativescript-vue has made a lot of progress over the past few months, it’s shaping up to be a pretty great mobile development experience.

Lol. Writing JS libs is not research.

What makes you say that? People are actively earning phds researching implementations in different languages. JS is different because it’s useful? Runs in a browser?

React is pretty advanced under the hood. Just because it's Javascript doesn't mean you can't write advanced tech in it.

That's not academic research but that's R&D. And the React team has shown they're very thoughtful about what they're building.

It's been years since people were mocked for using Javascript. The language has greatly matured.
