Ah, I mentioned it on Twitter [1] somewhat prompted by seeing this article, but before reading it, but: > It's interesting that Svelte is positioned as a Javascript framework: it seems to be practically a different language, far more so than JS+JSX. > The downside is that it's hard to integrate with much of the Javascript ecosystem, e.g. TypeScript. > Yet at the same time, it doesn't fully embrace being a different language, so it does not add features like e.g. how Elm supports pattern matching. > It does make it an easier sell, I suppose, which does certainly count for something. Am I missing something else? After having read it, it does seem that the author does both consider it a separate language, but also still presents it as a JS framework. I wonder if the former isn't being underestimated? [1] https://twitter.com/VincentTunru/status/1237422539128868865 https://twitter.com/VincentTunru/status/1237422539128868865
