not tsc. There has been attempts to build a faster tsc but I have not seen any results yet.
I only know of one active attempt at: https://stc.dudy.dev/docs/status from the author of swc. You may ask kdy to test but the product is closed source unlike swc.

Added a paragraph to the blog post: > Think of it as Next for Svelte. It's a framework for building apps with Svelte, complete with server-side rendering, routing, code-splitting for JS and CSS, adapters for different serverless platforms and so on. > If you're familiar with Sapper, SvelteKit is Sapper's successor.
As @skybrian points out below, this doesn't help much if you don't know what Next and Sapper are, and especially if you don't know what Svelte is. Here's my attempt. 1. Svelte is a JavaScript component framework, i.e. it offers a way to write reusable UI components in JavaScript. (Other popular frameworks include React, Angular, and Vue.) Each major framework solves the problem of code reuse in a different way, and c…
The code examples page is a thing of beauty and simplicity, bravo! https://svelte.dev/examples#hello-world
Web dev with Svelte brings me back to the early days of web development - php, MySQL, jquery and XMLhttprequest. I personally have never understood all the tooling required to build a modern day react app, and oh how I have tried. Svelte dev as a way-of-thinking-framework is as close to the fundamentals as I think you can get. The dx is amazing and sveltekit takes it to the next level. #sveltalowda Edit: embarrassing…
One thing that stops me from moving over to Svelte from Vue is the lack of a Vuetify (component framework with an API & tons of slots) equivalent. That's also what stops me from moving over to Vue 3 (for which Vuetify support is currently in Alpha). Vuetify just makes dev life so much easier. If Svelte had something that deep and all-encompassing I'd go all-in.
State management in Svelte, eg. Redux, looks really clunky compared with React and Vue so I'm afraid SvelteKit is a non-starter for me.
I've been primarily a Vue dev for quite a few years and never really considered investing much time in other emerging frameworks, but I'm very tempted to seriously dive into Svelte at this point.
JS/front-end often gets a bad rap on HN. I see complaints that things have become unnecessarily complicated or that all these frameworks are overkill, but I can build pretty complex, well structured applications with relative ease these days, and I have way more fun doing it, most of the time. I suppose I owe a lot to people like Rich Harris and Evan You who are genuinely making the work I do more enjoyable. Looking forward to trying this out.
