Finally, the JavaScript church I joined is now officially recognized.

SvelteKit happened to be the first JS framework I ever used, so every time I looked at react code I'd think "why is this so complicated if it can be this simple?". I guess I am a spoiled web dev because of it.

Vercel smartest move was to hire the one guy that could threaten their market share. Now whether React remains king or Svelte takes over, Vercel will be on the winning side

Thing I loved about Svelte is their interactive tutorial. In terms of building a working app, it took me from zero svelte experience to 90% of the way there. Figuring everything else out was really easy and intuitive.

I've worked on a few large-scale Svelte/SvelteKit projects, and lots of large-scale React projects in the last years. I can attest that Svelte simplicity and well-thought architecture makes it much harder to break stuff and hurt performance when compared to React projects. It's also much faster to dive into your teammates code since there are fewer lines to understand (and most code is just basically native HTML and JS).

Man web development is fucking crazy. I can't believe it but I honestly think systems programming is simpler at this point

SvelteKit is my favorite meta-framework. Hands down to all people who made this happen.

The best feature of sveltekit is the amount of typescript support, automatically infers types for components and routes, and the page data is typed as well

"I would close my eyes and pretend they were svelte" LOL

Been using Svelte for two months, has absolutely everything you could thing of in a framework

I haven't done a lick of webdev in the last 5 years but SvelteKit still feels life-changing

[johnnycatsville]

3 years ago I had to choose a framework I would learn and use for my Frontend apps. Sorry React, Vue, etc but Svelte is my most favorite thing ever, so simple and elegant, hope it will he around for a very long time :)

I thought it would be very difficult to change from React to Svelte, but it was super easy, even easier than moving from React to Solid, just because the syntax is super logical, you never ask yourself "WTF is this s*", "Why would they do that, I've read the whole documentation, dozens of videos, I know how to do it, but I still don't know why".

Svelte is a tool that works at the rhythm of your mind.

It's s basically how React should have been since the beginning, it removes all the things I hate from React and improves the good stuff 100 times.

It's, indeed, a masterpiece 10/10.

A masterpiece is here. Looks way simpler n easier than other frameworks

[lingais]

Would love for a more up to date tutorial on Sveltekit!

Most of the current tutorials are outdated due to the breaking changes and makes it really hard for a beginner..

I chose Svelte for every project since I discovered it 2 years ago. Best there is😍

I love Svelte and will never go back to literally anything else for a SPA. However, I had a lot of bumps understanding SvelteKit from the documentation due to lack of thorough introductory explanations and sentences (this video is much better than the docs). But Svelte itself is just so easy, and solves everything that made previous frameworks hard to work with and reason about.

So happy for svelte. I hope in 2023 we’ll see startups and companies alike choosing sveltekit to build their web apps

[mich_thedev]

Started learning svelte today. I've never felt more alive. Very clean syntax, easy to grasp.

I am so excited to this culmination of thousands of hours of work, both from the Svelte core team and the wider community, and I think this is the most enjoyable way to build production-grade websites, as a solo developer working on a small project or part of a large team.😍
