FaxJs VS core

More accurately, Facebook engineer Jordan Walke created the small UI framework FaxJs, Facebook realized that a technology like this could solve their horrible mess of cascading DOM updates that made it near-impossible to make product improvements, and they soon turned it into React.

That's actually the heritage of JSX!

XHP was launched in 2010 (https://www.facebook.com/notes/10158791323777200/)

The first version of FaxJs (the precursor to React) was launched in 2011, being directly inspired from XHP (https://github.com/jordwalke/FaxJs)

React was made in 2012 by the same person who made FaxJs, taking the best ideas from FaxJs and creating React.

So yeah, JSX actually comes from the idea of XHP :)

React was introduced to the world in May 2013 at a JavaScript conference in the US. It proved to be a game-changer and quickly became the king of JavaScript libraries. It was brought into existence by Jordan Walke, a software engineer at Facebook. He also created FaxJS in 2011, the early prototype of React.

Around a decade ago, Facebook started looking for a way to modernize its web app. It was becoming increasingly complicated, and they needed a framework to make it easier to build and maintain. To fix this, they created a project called Bolt. Bolt was an MVC framework built on top of JavelinJS, and it solved many of the problems Facebook had. However, it was not perfect. Jordan Walke, a developer at Facebook, created the next iteration of Bolt, called FaxJS. It offered many features that React has today, like rendering on both client and server, DOM diffing, and more. Jordan Walke renamed FaxJS FBolt and started using it in Facebook's codebase.

Also keep in mind that when React was created by Jordan Walke, he was trying to solve a very specific problem (correctly displaying notification / message counts, which was a big issue at Facebook at the time), and not setting out to create a complete and all-encompassing UI framework. If you're interested in the prototype, FaxJS, which he created, and which subsequently spawned React, here's the repo: https://github.com/jordwalke/FaxJs

Nuxt is an open-source framework for building performant websites and full-stack applications using Vue.js. It provides performance and SEO benefits, and adds full-stack capabilities for Vue apps.

As you can see, it's a simple Single Page Application built with Vue.js where our users can sign up / sign in with a few clicks.

Similarly to Promises/A+, this effort focuses on aligning the JavaScript ecosystem. If this alignment is successful, then a standard could emerge, based on that experience. Several framework authors are collaborating here on a common model which could back their reactivity core. The current draft is based on design input from the authors/maintainers of Angular, Bubble, Ember, FAST, MobX, Preact, Qwik, RxJS, Solid, Starbeam, Svelte, Vue, Wiz, and more…

Vue.js is an open source web framework that makes developing web applications easier.

Frameworks and Libraries: There are numerous JavaScript frameworks and libraries, such as React, Angular, and Vue.js, which simplify the development of complex web applications.

Javascript in the browser React - react is a library that gives developers an application programming interface (API) to manipulate the DOM (this is React's ReactDOM package). React uses components and JSX to make building reusable code easier. docs JSX - is a syntax extension for React Javascript code that lets you write HTML-like markup in a javascript file. This makes it easier to write reusable HTML. docs State - a key react concept that guides setting and storage of data between renders. docs Hooks - a key react concept for logic triggered by state change docs Vue - is a framework for building web interfaces. Vue is lightweight and best for small projects prioritizing speed over functionality. doc Angular - web development framework. Angular is best for dynamic more feature rich sites. docs

Nonetheless, it offers nearly infinite possibilities. You can code and create anything, from a mobile app with React Native to a desktop application with Electron.js. Furthermore, JavaScript provides excellent frameworks and libraries that can be applied in various approaches, such as React, Three, Vue, Meteor, and Astro.

From your own example, here is the text from https://vuejs.org/ as of today:

> The Progressive JavaScript Framework

> An approachable, performant and versatile framework for building web user interfaces.

> Approachable - Builds on top of standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript with intuitive API and world-class documentation.

> Performant - Truly reactive, compiler-optimized rendering system that rarely requires manual optimization.

> Versatile - A rich, incrementally adoptable ecosystem that scales between a library and a full-featured framework.

Yes, performance is mentioned. But it's hardly the main selling point, and they don't even mention DOM manipulation, they're talking about the rendering in general.

Lit isn't even a framework, it's a "web components library".

> all modern frameworks

Yeah, "all modern frameworks" being one framework + one library?
