I was surprised to see an update to a contemporary JavaScript framework to be welcomed rather than boo’d by the average HN reader. That in itself is an accomplishment.
the appetite for a credible alternative to a Facebook project is strong. also the vue team has done a great job dripping out information over the past 2 years and building anticipation. very little surprises in this release, hence mostly celebration left. you need to go back a bit further in time to find the critical HN comments.
