Discussion on: VueJS is dead, long live VueJS!

VueJS 3 departs from the option-based API we've grown to love and introduces the setup() function, which will be where all the magic happens.

This isn't exactly correct, and is actually a huge topic of debate on the RFC currently. The current format is not disappearing, it will be offered alongside the new setup() function. And it will stay this way if users continue to show that they use the "old" way throughout the lifetime of Vue v3.

While that's absolutely true, my point was more to say that the RFC introduces an API that departs from the option-based API, even if that API will continue to be available.

Yes, definitely. With the large amount of misunderstanding on Reddit, HN, and even the RFC thread itself, I'm just trying to help clear any confusion :)

The poor core team seems like they're dealing with a lot during this comment period.

Oh yeah, I (and I'm sure they) appreciate it. I'll update the article to reflect that too :)
