Specifically, imagine you a component that takes an arbitrary node to render. Just pass the node to the temple right?
Ha.
This api sucks -> https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/render-function.html
Compared to having “{node}” in react.
Do you mean a component that renders out to a node?
Or a component that takes in a node external to the component so it can render to that external node (as opposed to or in conjunction with a node inside the component)?
If the first, isn't this just the job of the component's <template> or jsx?
If the second, isn't this what slots are for?
Yes. Mutable vnodes is a huge mistake that I've done long time ago when I've tried to figure out how to write efficient diffing algorithm (2014-2015), and a lot of libraries copied that terrible idea without deep understanding why I've done it in the first place.
