Svelte is great, and React is the worst thing to happen to JavaScript.

I mean, seriously, just to make one app you have to have this massive React project, as well as a runtime. Svelte compiles it into a small bundle that's not too large with *no runtime*!

React, Bootstrap and Express have spawned a new wave of "Braindead JavaScript Developers™" that are beginning to become inescapable; it sucks.

Another “I found this new framework. Everything else is shit” post :/

By svelte do u mean Angular?

@M1sf3t what is currently holding me back from svelte is svelte material UI... Had issues using it with typescript.

Also I should search something for reactive programming (aka something redux-like)

Have they gathered any intel on how it scales, is it a good pick for large projects or overkill (like react) for smaller projects?

I am interested in svelte because it appears to take a step in the right direction on the web just like Deno is doing serverside.

@M1sf3t Sure but calling react the worst and brain dead is not going to help, and without any explanation not very accurate.

And if you cannot make a objective comparison, I am not going to trust the recommendation ;)

Yes react is not perfect, but compared to some earlier solutions its an enormous improvement.

Sure there might be better solutions, but switching thousands of lines of code in hundreds of files is not done easily.

Also, since whatever platform you choose you will have to live with for many years, I usually wait to see if it survives and evolves or just dies of.

Why not use javascript directly? svelte still has a small runtime. Dumbass
