I'm very happy to see React and Vue influence each other. They definitely are the highest quality frameworks out there and having two different research teams only improves the overall quality of the ecosystem.
I'm a React fan, yet I really applaud all the nice stuff which is coming in Vue 3. Well done.
Similarly, I'm a Vue fan, and them having to keep up with and learn from React's moves keeps it solid. I am very happy with recent updates to Vue and their framework is a pleasure to develop with (the tradeoff being a certain level of power that React provides that Vue cannot obtain, but it's plenty).
What makes you say that? People are actively earning phds researching implementations in different languages. JS is different because it’s useful? Runs in a browser?
