Dropping support for Backbone, whart's the purpose of that? #21

Closed ajstrand closed 2 years ago

ajstrand commented 2 years ago

The previous backbone-marionette repo mentioned the desire to drop support for Backbone.

What's the purpose of that move?

Is there a desire to integrate with frameworks like React/Svelte/Vue in the future?

This library would not drop support for Backbone, but just remove it as a dependency. I'm not sure what the point of integrating Marionette with React or Vue would be but you could certainly use a different data layer if you wanted. Marionette has already removed jQuery as a dependency such that alternate renders can be used to modify the DOM. I suspect many people will continue to use backbone with marionette. But with v5 you could use fetch and and simple object or array if desired.
