I'd say Svelte is much closer to "regular" programming. You will have to bend your thinking a bit with Elm. Svelte seems great, but it seems to be developed by one person primarily. Also, that person lives in NY and the project looks paused at the moment.

p.s. Svelte is great, and I can't wait to start working more actively with it.

What makes you say it looks paused? There’s been a very steady stream of releases since the big 3.0 launch last spring. There’s certainly more than one active contributor, although the core team is just a few people.

It just had a major release :P any faster and people would be complaining about churn !

Looking at the Github commits I’d say neither statement is true? Seems to be plenty of contributors that have contributed recently: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/commits/master https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/commits/master

That person is also a jerk (in my experience)

    It was a Twitter exchange that's been deleted so I can't remember the details. Suffices to say he was rude to me and that's colored my opinion of Svelte ever since.

      Well, as someone who has met him several times I found him witty, kind, and a very friendly fellow. I'm sure you are a very nice person but it is possible someone out there thinks you're a jerk despite that.

By "regular" programming do you mean JavaScript?
