Vue
ELI5 — The Vibe Check
Vue is a JavaScript framework for building interactive UIs. It's famous for being easy to pick up — HTML developers feel right at home. You write components with templates, reactive data, and logic, and Vue handles keeping everything in sync automatically.
Real Talk
Vue is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces, created by Evan You. It uses an HTML-template-based component model with a fine-grained reactivity system. Vue 3 introduced the Composition API (composables), script setup syntax, and a Proxy-based reactivity engine.

import { ref } from 'vue';
