Why You Should NOT Use Sveltekit

In this video I speak about the pros & cons of Sveltekit. Why it has unique features and unique bugs.

How I learned Ruby on Rails

Omg so many butt hurts in the comments amazing. I think I will never give it a try that way I'm not a part of this toxic community...seriously calm the f down everyone he can give his opinion based on his experience it's his chancel after all...

Somebody gotta tell you bud, click-baiting on tech stuff ain't the way to grow your channel. Title or description doesn't contain any useful information to understand why you dislike it, neither your claims make total sense. Im afraid imma dislike it

[shep]

Wait.

Bruh did you even read the script

I am just curious what part of sveltekit syntax is difficult to pick up for new devs compared to react or angular... In my mind svelte has simple syntax which looks like normal js and comparing it to react which has insane boiler plate and way higher learning curve.

[greendsnow]

UI libraries are limited yes, but you can import VanillaJs libraries and reference to them on the dom with 2 lines of code...

[stasoline]

You are wrong on every single thing you mentioned. It's really impressive!

[WyzrdCat]

Svelte is much easier to learn than the other frameworks. You are smoking something

[laztheripper]

The community isn't small. The fact is you just don't need as many packages to accomplish what you need with svelte, because they're either provided out-of-the-box or extremely simple to implement given svelte's primitives. If you reach for a library to increment views on something, that's just a skill issue on your part. i +=1 shouldn't need a whole package, and if you've used databases or redis or whatever else to persist data, you should be able to save the view count and fetch it when needed. Saying it's hard to understand when the other players are react and angular is also moronic. Feel like I've been baited, considering all of the claims made are so obviously wrong but whatever :)

[forderdrek]

There's not that many libraries for svelte because it can easily use any vanilla JS libraries

[ScriKidding-egvn]

What a joke. i have 2 yrs exp with nextjs and SvelteKit is the future

[ctw-home]

doing things in the "Svelte way" it is just doing things in the normal JS way. With Svelte you don't have to create anything from scratch like you would do with React and it's "React Way" because it just uses normal JavaScript. Also being a compiler means that Svelte will enhance the capabilities of JS rather than downloading a bunch of library stuff into your client. You better say why you should NOT use react ever again

[shawn_bullock]

We rewrote our enterprise app from React to SvelteKit and never looked back. On the whole our FE team releases features 2x-4x more frequently and with very little post-launch defect fixing compared to what they were doing with React.

Bro, you’ve embarrassed yourself. I’d strongly recommend taking this down

[SaudBako]

Doesn't JavaScript have the largest module count of all languages, which I can easily integrate with any framework (server or client)?
Am I misunderstanding the "ecosystem" part?

[dellaian]

Thank you for this video. It motivated me to look into your claims and 4 weeks in of Svelte(kit), I'm hooked. I asked a single question when starting, got my answer in 5 minutes and decided to go for a static Sveltekit project, with golang for the backend. I didn't want anything to do with frontend developments since react / angular became a thing. Thanks to you I have newfound love for frontend development.

[godnyx]

Hello and thank you for the video! I want to ask. I'm new to webdev, and I'm not fully sure how full-stack frameworks work.

Could someone use Svelte with something like vixeny instead of SvelteKit to create a full-stack app?

[paulabrudan]

So the only valid complaint is that the ecosystem is small because sveltekit is new.
It is way easier to learn and use, I was able to learn everything I needed in a few hours as a backend dev that never touched any react-like framework.
You typically don't need any frontend frameworks, maybe only for ui, but you can just use any vanilla js libs.
The "learning curve" is a lie, there is not one sane person thinking react or angular are easier to learn.
The third "point" is again, the small ecosystem and community.
Also what do you mean by "sveltekit isn't designed for scalable apps"??? How is sveltekit not scaling?

The video sounds like it was ai generated, misleading and lazy content

[backstabba]

SvelteKit is easy to learn. The only problem is that some resources are outdated since the syntax for certain things was slightly different in beta. They have official tutorial though.

[maxterrain]

Svelte and Vue might just be the holy grail of webdev.

I also need someome else to implement a ViewCounter for me, because I'm too stupid to write these 4 lines by myself.
