Svelte might not be internally as ergonomic as React, but the fact that it ditches “everything needs to be native JS” principle, allows one to build components with much less boilerplate. This translates to more readable code, less boilerplate and lines to type. Effectively Svelte sacrifices some of the purism principles in the favour of better developer productivity.
The trick with Svelte is that “two domains” are very, very, close to each other. A JavaScript programmer can learn and understand Svelte after 2 days tutorials.
Library support is something that can be improved only over time.
- loxs 5y agoYeah, I agree, but I suspect that React is still the "right" tool for 80% of the software out there (having all of these things in mind). Though I should give Svelte another go soon maybe :)
