Hey author here. This is a map of Earth that uses NASA imagery[1] to roughly sketch how sea levels could change if all ice melts. Estimates of potential sea level rise vary, with most I've seen between 60 and 75 meters. (some are highe

Sure, thank you for the question! It prompted me to add a note about Elm and Dart in a relevant section in the document. One important difference with Svelte versus Elm is that Elm makes a clean break from web technologies, while Svelte is

Svelte is a component compiler, not a general language compiler. Big distinction! Being purpose-built for this use case opens up a lot of opportunities. The article goes into this more, but Svelte's DSL is an extension of web languages

It's not a comprehensive weighing of alternatives, instead it's a deep dive into Svelte's pros and cons as they relate to my experience and our project. Elm is awesome! There's nothing quite like it that I know of in its

I considered linking or footnoting that text and probably should have. Like all surveys, there's a selection bias. For example where are the world's millions of jQuery developers? There's also a lot of controversy around Angu

Svelte can do server-rendered and static page generation with the near-zero overhead of string concatenation, and with it you gain the component model. Part of the magic of compilers is that you can get most of the best of both worlds. Sapp

Good question, thanks for asking it. I didn't explicitly address this (oops) and I'll have to do some more thinking. My first reaction is that: 1) Svelte gives you a solid foundation and lots of flexibility 2) difficulty scaling f

Author here, just wanted to make a note. This isn't written to hype a battle in the holy war. Frontend frameworks are a positive sum game! Svelte has no monopoly on the compiler paradigm either. Just like I think React is worth learnin

I'm a JS developer who tried to adopt Reason for a full stack side project in September. There is so much to love about the language and ecosystem. After about a week I decided to start over in TypeScript for a single reason: the awkwa
