As for the "can't find devs that know it" problem, I'd suggest anyone reading this that Svelte is incredibly easy to pick up. Like I skimmed the docs in literally a few minutes, and was able to build out a reasonably sophisticated application almost immediately.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 4y agoWithout knowing your background or the app is not that useful of an insight.
- danielvaughn 4y agoFair enough. I do have a little over a decade of experience, so perhaps that gives my opinion some bias. But regardless of the app, the premise behind Svelte feels as close to native as you can possibly manage. If you know html/css/js, it really shouldn't be hard to pick up the basics.
- antifa 4y agoI lost a non-trivial amount of time converting a vuejs app to svelte before getting blindsided by svelte not having basic error handling: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/1096 https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/1096 Many types of errors that the equivalent vuejs/react app will show an error page and allow reporting to sentry for will result in an uncatchable halting (some may describe this as "freezing") and with no way to report this to a service like sentry. This is unacceptable for a framework claiming to be production ready. It's unclear to me if this has been fixed in the last year or two.
- danielvaughn 4y agoI hear you. My comment was mostly addressing the ease of learning the basics. I eventually decided to abandon it once I ran into a couple of very-difficult-to-debug problems, but I also didn't try too hard to resolve them. I did not realize they have no error handling, that's interesting.
