> What are you even arguing at this point?

That Vue isn't "the same as text between script tags". Because "text between script tags" is fully specified, and known to the browser.

Vue's ad-hoc mish-mash of DSLs has to go through an unspecified series of transformations before it can even become a "text between script tags". And that's the issue not just with Vue, but with any other templating layers.

Ah yes. The good old "code is the source of truth" fallacy. Can you point to me where exactly in code it specifies this: `Expects: Array | Object | number | string | Iterable (since 2.6)`?

Yes, Vue directives aren't JS. It's a separate DSL. The whole point is that it is a syntax that can be parsed, compiled and understood rather than just "strings".

I'm not sure why you're stuck on this. Templates are just a more simplistic programming language. That's how so many IDEs can still provide help with them.
