rfcs VS inferno

```

We started experimenting with this ling of thought almost 3 years ago:

- First take (ref sugar), Nov 2020: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/pull/228

- Take 2, Aug 2021: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/pull/368

- Take 3, Nov 2021: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/369

We provided it as an experimental feature and had a decent number of users trying it out in production. The feedback wasn't great and eventually decided to drop it. https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/369#discussioncomm...

This is a personal preference, but I use ref almost all the time. Despite tediously writing the .value to access the ref’s value, the Vue team is aware of the problem, and the open RFC - Reactivity Transform, was aiming to solve this issue, however, seems like it was abandoned.

To stay updated, follow the RFC at https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/503.

This was a good change. Evan has always been extremely good at putting his finger on the pulse of the frontend community. If there's a feature or paradigm that people love that would fit in Vue, Evan will incorporate it. Over the years, Vue has implemented (and sometimes later deprecated) dependency injection, JSX support, custom elements, Angular-style class components, Svelte-style ref sugar, and now Solid-inspired compiler optimizations. They even changed the order of a Vue file to match that of Svelte: first the script, then the template.

Now the $on has been removed, but the event subject is causing some confusion, see: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/397

The RFC has shown that this feature is very controversial, with lots of implications. Personally, I liked it at first, but now I'm against it.

Here is the Current language: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/blob/function-apis/active-rfcs/0000-function-api.md

Plus, even that there is a real possibility that the controversial Reactivity Transform RFC leads to a Vue 4 version, it is likely to bring just minor breaking changes from Vue 3.

FormEvent event.target has been explicitly defined for this event type c337fdd

I mean I don't know what your monorepo looks like, but for example infernojs (actually written with typescript) uses lerna, and lerna seems simpler than typescript references

Svelte just got a lot more interesting! Dominic who is the creator of LexicalJs and InfernoJs (which is known to be insanely fast) has joined the svelte core team and is now working at Vercel full time! Here is the announcement on Twitter!

Inferno.js uses VDOM https://github.com/infernojs/inferno and is faster than Svelte according to these benchmarks https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/2023/table.... Sooo, VDOM can improve performance?

Inferno (~6 years old) uses a VDOM, just like React, but it completely smokes React in benchmarks

Some might argue that React’s relatively poor performance (it’s still plenty-fast for many apps) is due to Virtual DOM and prioritization of development experience, i.e., clarity over complexity. To counter the first argument - there’s React-like Inferno. For the second one - there’s Solid.

1. Inferno:

A VDOM library like Inferno uses this information to compile its JSX directly into pre-optimized node structures. Marko, and Vue hoist their static VDOM nodes outside of their components so that they don't incur the overhead of recreating them on every render.
