I’m going to start this set of my #100daysofcode slightly differently. While scrolling I usually see others discuss what they learned regarding their practice of code, I don’t see a lot of people sharing the background of the code, the history of it, or the people responsible for creating the tools and frameworks we work with today.
So, I would like to start this series by talking about the framework Vue. As of today, the top three frontend frameworks are #react, #angular, and #vue and an aspect that helps set it apart from the others is that it was developed by one person, Evan You.
If you’re not impressed, you should be.
React and Angular were developed by a team of engineers at Meta and Google respectively. It is understandable why these two frameworks are juggernauts and find their way onto the computers of developers across the world.
Vue is developed by one person and has managed to achieve a similar level of success and competes in usage with React and Angular.
As a ‘progressive’ framework, the purpose of Vue is to empower developers in efficiently building UI applications while providing a low barrier of entry.
A large contributor to the success of Vue during its initial development and release comes down to its documentation. Where the frameworks of React and Angular were written with an English reader in mind first, Vue was an outlier to this due to Evan You being multi-lingual. He valued documentation and wanted his framework to be accessible to as wide of an audience as possible and therefore created documentation in both English and Chinese. This consideration for non-English speakers led to an increased interest in Vue and adoption by companies such as Alibaba, Nintendo, UpWork, Netflix, Adobe, and more.
More importantly, it created a community of developers that actively support the development and growth of the Vue framework which is currently in its third iteration.
This is only a snippet behind the story of Vue. If you are interested in learning more about its creator, how it was created and what allowed it to thrive, I highly recommend watching the following video by Honeypot.
