A comparison of a simple app in Vue.js and Alpine.js

medium.com A comparison of a simple app in Vue.js and Alpine.js

Vue.js is one of the most popular Javascript frameworks in the world right now, originally released in 2014 and with version 3 just around…

Unlike most modern javascript frameworks, Alpine requires absolutely no build, you simply include the library and away you go, all features included. It’s also super lightweight. If you already know Vue, you basically know Alpine, making it perfect for Vue developers to turn to for projects where Vue is simply overkill and without the headache of learning something completely alien.

2020 feels pretty ancient in javascript time.
- Agreed, this article is old, but I think it does a good job of showing how similar Alpine and Vue are.
  
  I wasn't aware of Alpine.js before the article though and I love minimalistic frameworks so thank you for that.
