Discussion on: Why would you want to learn VueJS now?

if I would make an educated guess, ReactJS came in first so they have the first-mover advantage from angular and other frameworks. Also, ReactJS focus heavily on javascript which is the preference of most devs. Since this is preferred, jobs will be massive as demand is higher.

JSX is a bit weird but I could argue that the same thing could be said on the directive, filters, etc as well on angular/vue. Might be something to just getting used to.

That is true, that React did sort of revolutionize the framework world. It’s definitely more JS-heavy with the JSX but it’s an interesting philosophy I’d take up learning in the future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

You will be able to pick it up quite easily. In the end, frameworks help us devs but just different ways of doing things. Is there any other framework you are familiar other than vuejs?

Completely agree that frameworks just provide different means of doing things - I’m familiar with Nuxt.js but that doesn’t quite count since it’s based off Vue πŸ˜„ Only a bit familiar with React πŸ˜…

im going to spend some time with Svelte this week. it is very similar with VueJS. They claim to be lighter as they remove the actual lib from the code. imagine a vuejs app with vuejs or react app without react, no overhead. πŸ˜€
