Svelte is on a good way to becoming a go-to framework.

Snippets sound very useful. I hate overcomponentisation. Especially that every one of them has its own update cycle that affects performance. For the case like this image element it’s completely pointless to encapsulate it so I support the snippet feature wholly.

As someone who is currently learning React, I may or may not have gasm'd when snippets were explained. Can't wait to finish learning React so I can build with Svelte.

My favorite front-end framework is Svelte.
The evolution of HTML and CSS has significantly reduced the amount of JavaScript required for common UIs.
I believe 2024 will be the year of Svelte5, as the current role of front-end frameworks focuses on managing in-app state in a simple and maintainable way.

I'm a backend dev and svelte is my goto frontend when I need to.

"THE LEAST HATED FRAMEWORK" hahaha

Feel like svelte 5 is ready to give the challenge to react. Nothing against it, but if the business is to move fast, svelte has the most simplicity than its bigger brethren. Just excited to see its changes reflect in other frameworks

[Lemmy]

I just switched from Svelte to React because of the damn job and it's traumatizing, I feel like switching from Deno to Java 6 EE.

great, time to rebuilt my app for the 7th time

Svelte is so pleasing to use. Things just make sense.

I love your attitude and energy. Youre a legend! Ethan Hindmarsh

Runes seems like a copy pasted from Vue 3 reactivity. Directly modify arrays & objects is not a new

That vault boy on the thumbnail…., We are living in an age of after the final JavaScript framework war.

2:11 You can achieve the svelte behaviour in solid (updating via mutation, no reliance on reference) by setting the equals options on createSignal to false

[argempusrecords]

is it safe to start building with svelte 5 now? Or should I wait until it's oficially released?

[vutruong]

I mostly worked in Angular, but am trying out Svelte and really like its simplified approach.

I think Svelte and Angular shared many similarities in their approach: html first, svelte actions/angular directives, control flow (angular copy svelte), signals/runes, svelte snippet/angular template ... I still hate Angular EventEmitter and wished they would one day ditch it for normal event handlers like Svelte

[thomascarlsen]

What is the different between making a component and using a snippet and why does components create an overhead?

[ayoubMazouz]

I love svelte and I still love it. but I can do the same mistake again building production application with a newly born framework that is bound to change more frequently.

[gomi-hako]

Will it be easy to migrate, started a bigger svelte project on v4 in april. Am already quite deep in it.

[crab-cake]

how much do you charge to feature things? i want to market my tailwind library
