I'm really impressed that the release announcement starts by explaining what Svelte is. It's a little thing, but it's appreciated.

- metamet 8y agoAgreed. It's refreshing to not first need to open a handful of tabs in order to find my bearings.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoAgreed. I really appreciated him not assuming I know -fucking everything- and his WHAT included the WHY. ‘WHY’ (intent) is far more important an is missing from many different technical industries. Tell me how you intend it to be used and I’ll see if that matches what I think I want (miss-wanting a different topic!).
- bjz_ 8y agoYeah, I first saw this approach taken by the Rust announcements in the early days. It's a great demonstration of empathy to the reader!
- TeMPOraL 8y agoIn particular, I think this is a recognition of the fact that people these days don't follow random projects, but they do follow social media feeds and news aggregators like HN or Reddit. So an average reader may come to the post not because they know and care about Svelte, but because the link being on their favourite aggregator lent it credence as something worth reading.
- keerthiko 8y agoIt's really not a little thing. The number of blog posts that talk about why version N+1 of X is great, assuming I know what X or version N did is stupid, and I am immediately churned out.
