We're using vue.js with pug and loving it.

Pug needs to know what type of element you want to render that message into, just add a div or a span at the front of the line and everything will work properly:

div {{message}}

The same thing would happen if without vue.js you just tried to render text into a page. This would cause an error:

div
  This is some text

You could also use the Plain Text command (|) to accomplish what you want:

| {{message}}

or

div
  | This is some text

FYI, we're also using inline components with script tags in separate pug files instead of using the CLI:

script(type="text/x-template" id="my-component")
  div
    (html goes here)

script.
  var MyComponent= Vue.component({
    "template": '#my-component',
    <rest of the code goes here>
  });
