State on the server side is often a very different animal from client side. Whereas on the client, everything is either JS and/or a browser API, the server side allows for relational databases, Redis caches, and all sorts of other stra

I do not think that is a charitable view of the article or most people's comments. We all knew what was gained. We just bemoan what was lost, much of which has been found to be largely unknown to more recent entrants into the field. Fo

Wow, I guess I really needed the sarcasm tag there. It appears some folks didn't get that this wasn't aspirational.

Not any more than REST is. Server-side rendering doesn't have to be messy. In fact for most modern frameworks, it's become table stakes.

Where that markup language is HTML, yes, I agree. It's a feature, not a bug. That said, I personally prefer the Svelte model. I like leveraging the client browser for effect, not just rendering everything server-side.

You seem to be taking the position that Svelte does not allow for components for cases like custom dropdowns where HTML falls short on its own. This is not at all the case. I highly recommend actually looking at Svelte examples before comme

It is in Svelte. Take a look. You write normal CSS as you always have, and Svelte takes care of scoping it to just your component by default. React really made people think they couldn't expect any better.

Htmx defers almost all logic to server side. That's the tradeoff, and it's a major shift from what we've become accustomed to in the last decade (unless you've been writing PHP or something similar). You provide listenin

Every web app no matter the framework boils down to HTML and CSS at its core. The furthest you can get from those is ratcheting up the number of <div> and <span> elements, then of course making the mad dash to reintroduce the lo

That's where this part kicks in: "It takes all the lessons from the last decade and a half and distills them into familiar web development patterns." That includes reactivity and state management—two concepts that we

I've been doing web development since 1996. I've witnessed the ebbs and flows and hype trains. Svelte's the real deal. How do I know? Because it's not a new API or paradigm. It's the old web just better. It encourag

tl;dr: I love web development again. You obviously haven't tried Svelte yet. I would have agreed with you a few years ago though. The churn as I've seen it has been a direct result of React's ecosystem, not in spite of it. He

Yep, I was wrong about the source DB in retrospect, but that other guy just seems to want to argue with straw men. Takes all kinds, I guess.

SolidJS is currently faster at runtime. Not sure it could beat Svelte at developer time. And with the reported speed improvements in Svelte 5 (waiting to see how those bear out in the real world), the difference isn't going to be how f

While yes, Svelte is faster out of the box than React, that's not its main draw in my opinion. When you learn React, you learn React's idioms, its methodology, the common component libraries, etc. You learn its API and patterns. S

It doesn't need wrappers to the same extent React, Angular, et al do. Svelte works quite well with vanilla JS libraries without having to implement a wrapper most of the time. https://hackmd.io/@roguegpu/r1RKQMdt3
