#2I mostly work with React, but Svelte is so much better in every way, I hope it becomes more popular soon.

#3I've worked with all three frameworks, but as a mostly single dev/engineer I very very much prefer Svelte because it lacks a lot of boilerplate that React has, and it's easier to think about than Vue's clunky way to write variables and functions.
But I'm a "hacker type" and don't work in a large tech company. I haven't seen Svelte in any sort of "real tech companies", haven't seen it on job boards, and it doesn't seem a very desirable skill.
Does this mean that Svelte "doesn't work" for large teams, because it lacks the boilerplate of React?

#4I think svelte is a project that will always remain experimental.

#5The only thing I don't like about Svelte is the reactive blocks, prefixed with $:. There are a number of gotchas, like updating complex objects, which make things a bit...implicit rather than explicit.

And what makes it experimental in your opinion?

#7I'd really like to hear more from Svelte devs about what non-happy paths look like. I specialise in React.js and there are any number of escape hatches to make sure you can get something working just the way you want. What I fear about Svelte is getting to 95% complete and finding the one obscure thing a stakeholder will not budge on is not possible.

Out of curiosity, what do you find clunky about Vue's variables vs Svelte?
I've been working exclusively with Vue for the last... 6 years. Since the launch of v2. So my mind is already conditioned ;-)

#9If you want something that is a bit lighter weight, check out Surplus. It's been around for ages, is used for real projects, and has a lot of the same design patterns Svelte adopted, without a lot of the extra language semantics.

Do you mean this?
