Having a hard time choosing between Svelte and Elm. For a lone in house dev, any recommendations?

I'd say Svelte is much closer to "regular" programming. You will have to bend your thinking a bit with Elm. Svelte seems great, but it seems to be developed by one person primarily. Also, that person lives in NY and the project looks paused at the moment.

p.s. Svelte is great, and I can't wait to start working more actively with it.

The problem with Svelte is it doesn't support Typescript. You pretty much need that on any reasonable size project unless you are happy to spend your life tracking down runtime bugs. Vue has a similar problem (it sort of supports Typescript, but not properly and templates aren't type checked).

I've not used Elm so maybe that is better. React has good support for type checking. I would use that.

What makes you say it looks paused? There’s been a very steady stream of releases since the big 3.0 launch last spring. There’s certainly more than one active contributor, although the core team is just a few people.

I skimmed through it, but couldn't find a description of the distinguishing feature of svelte, i.e. how the incremental updates are performed.

If you see that something is missing, just add it!

If you see something is done bad, just make it better!

This is the way a successful society works, this is especially true for the open source society of planet earth.

Be constructive, it is a way of life that will make you happy. Good Luck!
