- parthdesai 8y agoAnd why would that not be correct, and what are the sources of your number?
- geektips 8y agoMost probably because Vue is enormously popular in China and npm mirrors are mostly used in china.
- jmull3n 8y agoVue can also be used from a CDN and doesn't require NPM.
- scottlecrab 8y agoReact can be used from a CDN as well, including using it with JSX. Although using JSX from CDN scripts is a bad idea in production because it's slower.
- KaoruAoiShiho 8y agohttps://npm.taobao.org/package/vue https://npm.taobao.org/package/vue https://npm.taobao.org/package/react https://npm.taobao.org/package/react Vue looks like it's about 1.8x more popular in China.
- KaoruAoiShiho 8y agoBuilds bias npm stats. You can also look at github activity and stackoverflow activity as proxies.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoReact looks a lot more popular than that comparing title:react vs title:vue on indeed.com or stackoverflow.com/jobs. Though I don't see the point -- they're exploring almost the exact same concepts. As for what's next, I have a hard time envisioning anything usurping React any time soon. Its breed is basically the state of the art in UI paradigm and an active field of research. I'd put things like Elm in that cohort as well. I think the better question is: what's next for React and its cohort? When are we going to see these ideas appear first-class in Cocoa/UIKit/etc? When will we finally see "OOP is good for UIs" (OOP's final foothold in our dogma) lose out to "FP is good for UIs"? What's the next big thing inside the React ecosystem? How far can something mainstream like React move towards the strictness of something like Elm?
