I don't work at the Guardian any more, I'm at the New York Times, where we are starting to use Svelte for some stuff (see e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/09/upshot/game-of-thrones-chart.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/09/upshot/game-o...). Though I haven't spent a lot of time evangelizing it to my coworkers here to be honest — if people are happy with their current tools then I've got no interest in shoving Svelte in front of them. > I'm just a bit lairy of adding yet another proprietary tool to my buildchain to try and bend the web platform to my will. By using Svelte I've found that I no longer need to bother with any CSS pre/postprocessors or minifiers (I was mainly using them for scoping, which is no longer necessary), and I don't need to faff around transpiling JSX. So you might find you add one build tool but get rid of two others!
