The object should tell the truth
State is explicit. Caching is intentional. Everything else stays pure. An ivue class makes the runtime semantics of an object visible in its source.

Win by reduction. Win by construction.
The strongest architecture does not manage complexity more efficiently. It removes the conditions that create it, then makes the remaining guarantees structural.

VS Code spent a decade hand-rolling reactive classes
Emitters, disposables, DI decorators — and since 2022 its own signals system. Every subsystem maps to one ivue feature.

Introducing ivue: plain classes, full reactivity, one kilobyte
The field did not abandon classes because classes failed — it is easier to canonize a retreat than to admit one. The launch post.

Your objects are rented from the framework
If your domain logic only exists while a component is mounted, you lease your objects. On evicting the landlord.

Inheritance didn't deserve the exile
Composition-over-inheritance corrected an abuse, then outlawed a tool. A reactive pricing chain shows what the recoil cost.

The scrollbar is code
1,000,000 rows where scrolling itself is virtual — Lenis owns the physics, the DOM holds a dozen rows, nothing costs O(total).

Composables are organs, not skeletons
The ecosystem's decade of composables is the substrate, not the rival. Classes give the body a spine.

Measured, not promised
Benchmarks lie by default — dead code, unobserved heaps, harness tax. The three times our own harnesses lied to us.
