Our small team is currently evaluating svelte as a replacement to riotjs and vuejs. We have reimplemented several of our projects in svelte and like the results and the easy learning curve for getting our team up to speed. The documentation for svelte has been first rate. The shareable REPL has made asking questions and answering them very easy. The community on Discord has been very helpful. Since we began evaluating 6 months ago, we have seen a large growth in interest in svelte. I wondered if this was bias, due to our current focus, but I see the increase in my 100s of RSS feeds. (Still a small amount of data points) Training is a key aspect for us. We will be needing to train our existing team, and svelte feels like a good fit for us. Any new hires would need this skill as a secondary ability, and we feel like it is more likely they would pick up svelte quickly All that said, we have not made a commitment to svelte yet. Our alternative would be to stay with what we have

I've been using Svelte since inception, and you're 100% right, there's been a significant uptick in user base over the last 6 mos. Basically since Rich did his Rethinking Reactivity talk at YGLF back in April.[1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdNJ3fydeao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdNJ3fydeao

I would love to have you write up your experiences and how you would transition from VueJS to Svelte. I'm going to set a reminder to check this comment for replies every day for the next month, I am THAT interested. :)

What is your opinion on riotjs? I have followed that project for many years & it has always had an interesting component system, but I have never done anything serious with it. They have recently released a new major version. Very small community.
