WHAT VUE’S CREATOR LEARNED THE HARD WAY WITH VUE 3

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Evan You, creator of Vue, recounts some of the challenges the release of Vue 3 unveiled and the lessons he learned with each one. One key lesson was minimizing breaking changes and adopting a deprecation cycle to ensure smoother transitions for users. Another lesson was recognizing the importance of collaborating with ecosystem library authors to address issues before releases and discouraging the use of internal APIs to prevent difficulties in upgrading. Embracing TypeScript and the composition API was crucial for a better developer experience.
