I'm, obviously, pulling some rabbits out of thin air here but... see this:
import Vue from 'vue'
Not knowing anything about Vue, you can still guess that Vue is serious magic just by looking at the way the code for the project is laid out.
That's it.
Ah, but why is it noteworthy?
Cause assume, just for a second, you had a private package, that may also be able to pull rabbits out of dark places, and you had reasons to keep it unpublished. Like, you wouldn't want to release the code, not even in bundled apps. In that case, you would look at this HN item, and repo, and note that, yes, one can release code for a magic based app without releasing the code for the magic lib itself. And that this may allow someone at HN to comment Nice work! Just goes to show how clean and readable [insert magic lib name] code is. And this can start a conversation and lead to opportunities.
And that's worth noting.
But also worth nothing. Cause it's nonsense. You can always do neither.
Edit: I’m not saying this is the reason this specific item is on the front page or commenting on the repo itself (the code looks solid). I’m just herding speculative rabbits.
- lucasmullens 7y agoI can't really follow all the rabbits here. Vue is just a library, being used in the same way as any other library.
