Comment on Is jQuery still the go-to JS helper library?

  Still better than whatever the hell this is

  vuejs.org/guide/essentials/template-syntax

  The more you scroll down, the worse it gets.

  And this too: vuejs.org/guide/essentials/list

    template syntax is a piece of cake, takes literally 2 hours to learn everything you need and you can easily see what’s where and how the html will look when it’s rendered or not.

      But why bother with creating a new language, and duplicating all the features your language already has, in a weird way?

      If I want a list of items based on an array, I can just do items.map(item => ), using the normal map function that’s already part of the language.

      Or I can use a function, e.g. items.map(item => renderItem(item, otherData)) etc.

        But why bother with creating a new language

        I can just do items.map(item => 〈Item key={item.id} item={item} /〉)

        I don’t think this is a very good example. You’ve just said not to use a new language, then used JSX, a new language.

        but how do you know what renderItem does? where will the items end up?

        we are visual creatures.

        if I see a <ul><li></li></ul> I know it’s doing a list item for every object in given list.

        it’s literally just html with a few added stuff, v-if to determine whether it’s rendered, v-for for iteration, dynamic class bindings and event listener bindings.
