Reinventing VueJS Lessons Learnt
summary
Work on Vue 3 starts in September 2018, hits a soft launch in September 2020 and becomes default January 2022; migration cost leaves 60% still on v2 while 40% of downloads are now v3 and growth doubles last year. Major fixes: full TypeScript support, a Composition API that enables reusable logic, and new tooling like Vite and Volar. Mistakes: too many simultaneous breaking changes, underestimating library ecosystem impact, and releasing core before the ecosystem was ready; ongoing work includes opt-in vapor mode performance builds.
