Wow, it's Vue.js

What if you could extract the part that you really liked about Angular and build something lightweight without all the extra concepts involved? Well, that's where Vue.js will come in handy.

Vue.js is a framework that was created in 2014 by Evan You, a former Google employee.

At that time, React.js was just gaining momentum, while Angular was widely used. However, Angular wasn't the best fit for that task completion since the project required something flexible and lightweight for rapid prototyping. Just trying to replicate this minimal feature set, like declarative data binding. That was basically how Vue started.

Once Evan discovered the true potential of this technology, he decided to release it and out the first version on GitHub. Since then, quite a young framework has managed to reach top positions and has been remaining one of the most popular JS technologies for many years in a row.

Vue.js is steadily growing in terms of its popularity. And here is why. For instance, if we take a look at HackerRank 2020 survey that reached 116,648 developers and asked them about their favorite framework, Vue, as a result, came in 8th, but it showed a steady growth of interest among the software engineers.

Now the interesting part. What can you build with Vue.Js? Similar to React.js, Vue has been actively empowering various popular products, including Gitlab, Behance, Trustpilot, and many others.

    Vue.js is such a delightful framework to use! I love how you continue to use standard web tech like HTML and CSS without shoving everything into Javascript. It just feels right!

    I am building https://www.webase.com on Vue and loving it!

      It's awesome - I've been on Vue since 2017. Try Vue3 with the composition API. Super fast and easy.

      IMO it's a great fit for devs whose primary language isn't JavaScript. More convention over configuration and sprinkles of magic to make things easier for you.

      Not to say it isn't a great fit for those who specialize in JS as well.
