Svelte is fucking awesome. Long way to go to catch up to React, but it'll get there. No brainer.

  Yes, it is good. In many ways I hope it doesn’t catch up to React - it’s running a different journey which I also prefer.

    Catch up in terms of hirability/company usage.

      Yeah, I stupidly started some projects with SvelteKit instead of NextJS and am having a very hard time finding people to work on them.

        Consider trying to hire outside Svelte - Anyone that can write using the major frameworks will do just fine. If the problem is candidates uninterested in using it, that's a different problem.
        • smt88 5y ago
          This is what I've done, but it's still hard to find someone who will do things in idiomatic Svelte.

            :(

        I think the problem Svelte is having in this area is folks looks at it the same way they look at React, Angular and Vue. All those frameworks (especially React and Angular) have their own way of doing things, so you have to know "HTML, CSS, JS and React/Angular". I think folks think that Svelte is the same way, while it does have it's own special sauce, it's nothing compared to React/Angular. Like others have said, when hiring for Svelte, you don't really need the candidate to have Svelte experience.

        Have you made a post on the Svelte discord #jobs channel? All job postings that go up there get gobbled up pretty quickly.
