Honestly, from a person who has been part of both React and Svelte, this feels like the (for the lack of a better word) bastard child of both. It looks like a very opinionated, mish-mash of Svelte and React.

Kudos to the dev for working towards realizing their ideas, but Svelte and Solid have essentially solved front-end frameworks for the better part. People still hung up on React happily use Next in prod, people who want simple SSG go towards Astro or Hugo, people who use Svelte/Solid will not switch because this simply doesn't seem to improve upon anything that either do, so I really don't see what this solves in the slightest.

I very happily use Svelte for work, for my personal projects because of fine grained reactivity through signals, no bs syntax that feels like writing "just" HTML & Typescript, mature tooling and great performance. I have no interest switching to something that makes me feel like I'm stuck in the middle of a better React and a worse Svelte.
