I have to agree. I still haven’t used hooks yet and I’m sure I’ll get used to them when I do, but by comparison to this article Svelte is a breath of fresh air.

I have to agree. I still haven’t used hooks yet and I’m sure I’ll get used to them when I do, but by comparison to this article Svelte is a breath of fresh air. It’s simple, it works. A lot of people object to it because it’s very different to React, but judging by the diagrams in the mental models here I don’t think that’s any bad thing. An aside, and I know complaints about hooks are very boring now, but I remember when React first arrived on the scene. The API was a delight. shouldComponentUpdate, willReceiveProps, etc. Everything was so clear from the first second you picked it up. Now? I’m less sure.
