Will Nuxt 3 Make Vue.js Great Again?
Lighter, faster, auto-imports, awesome developer experience
Recently we have had exciting releases for the React ecosystem. First, it was Next.js, then came Remix, and later on React 18. Those were stealing the thunder of any JavaScript framework. They were driving all the frontend discussions and increasing React’s momentum.
Luckily, the Nuxt team is making a big comeback with its latest Nuxt 3 version. It is currently in RC and the stable release is due in June. As great as a Vue.js is, it will fail to gain traction if it lags behind in framework features. This version might play a big role in increasing its popularity 🚀.
What is Nuxt anyway? You can think of it as the Remix/Next.js equivalent written in Vue.js. It is an isomorphic JavaScript framework that empowers us to write code that executes both on the client and on the server. It abstracts all the complexity and configuration away.
The new Nuxt 3 release is packed with many features. Not only to create performant web applications but also to raise the developer experience to a whole new level. It has built-in TypeScript support which is awesome. The only obvious caveat is that it is highly opinionated. It’s a tall we need to pay for. However, seeing how amazing this evolution is, I will happily pay for it.
