Thoughts on Templating languages

I get a lot of questions about what I think about Vue.

I won't comment too much on Vue in general because I'm not familar enough with it, but I'm very familiar with templating systems, and in articles praising Vue, the fact that it uses templating system instead of JSX is almost always cited as a reason to choose Vue. This drives me up the friggin' wall, because the negative side effects of templates are not communicated or discussed. JSX exists for good reasons. To me, JSX is a great simplification and clear improvement over templates.

Template languages are often sold on looking superficially good. I recently ran across yet another one of these articles citing the wonders of Vue, and especially templates. In this article, this JSX example is included:

architectures and whatnot

1. plain ol' React

let state = initial
render(view(state), element)

• view is pure!

We're excited to have you attend one of our workshops! Here's a JavaScript (re)fresher to help you get up-to-speed on some features of the language we'll be using.

Let and Const

JavaScript has always had var:

var name = 'Ryan'

With styled-components into the future

Preprocessing is dead, long live preprocessing!

// Tools like Redux-saga, React-redux and Reselect can easily be used without Redux
// For Reselet there's nothing to do, it's just not coupled to Redux
// For the others, you just need to provide an adapter

// At Stample.co we use a legacy framework that is quite close to Redux but with a bad API
// We want to progressively migrate to Redux, so starting now to use Redux tools on new features will make our migration faster

gatsbyjs-employees

To the Gatsby Community,

We want to start by specifically thanking Nat Alison. We support her and commend her bravery in speaking out. It is not easy to stand alone. What she experienced at Gatsby was unacceptable and speaks to wider issues. We thank her for putting pressure on the company to fix them. We vow to double down on those efforts.

While we have worked hard to give feedback and help create a healthy work environment over the past few years, change has been far too slow and the consequences have been real. The previous weeks have intensified the need for rapid change by increasing employee communication and allowing us to collectively connect some dots. We are just as outraged. As a result, we have posed a series of hard questions to management as well as a list of concrete actions they need to take.

Kyle Mathews' public apologies to both Nat Alison and Kim Crayton are small actions swiftly taken that signal the possibility for change but don't speak to the systemic issues that must be addressed.
