Every Svelte enthusiast I have spoken to tends to lean towards the esoteric Elm and other such technologies.

They don’t really understand that software isn’t about “my framework can render 1000 elements 500ms faster” but rather my organization of hundreds or thousands of front end engineers (mix of employees and contractors both of whom usually don’t give a fuck) across the WORLD need to be able to work together on a significant product and ship constantly without breaking things.

And customers don’t give a fuck otherwise they wouldn’t be paying six figures or more for literally shit software.

That said I have tried it a couple times over the years. Not sure I like the latest direction they’ve gone though.

this 100%. Svelte lost direction when they became part of Vercel.

if they had stayed on their origin basis of making web apps fast with interop n ease of use the you wouldn't have the rune nonsense.
