I literally started working on a project in Svelte after spending like two afternoons trying to do it in React.
Svelte is such a God send. So much simpler and powerful than React. Not to mention the fact that React only handles the UI layer but is too unopinionated w.r.t. the application architecture.
Congrats to the team and thanks for all the hard work!
Congratulations to the team for releasing this. For someone who hasn't followed svelte closely, How much JS sveltekit ship by default using SSR
and you have this choice on a per page basis rather than having to choose between a static site generator or a full SPA
Actually, I was new to the entire stack, but it went smooth as butter. (Though I have plenty of experience with JS, HTML, CSS, other databases, etc.)
IMO, svelte and sveltekit are well designed and have a great dev experience.
LOL, as I was writing this he was apologizing on the stream for the breaking changes. That was a bit of a pain, but not really that bad. My only real gripe is using folders to organize both layout hierarchy and route hierarchy is going to turn out to be a mistake.
+ SvelteKit (could be Next, Nuxt, Solid or any other TypeScript framework)
+ tRPC (typed calls between frontend and backend, https://trpc.io)
+ trpc-sveltekit (glues SvelteKit and tRPC, https://github.com/icflorescu/trpc-sveltekit)
+ Prisma (ORM, https://www.prisma.io)
Very little surface area. It embraces your knowledge of plain ole CSS/JS/HTML and empowers you with reactivity and a means of if being able to add motion to your ui.
Newbs and Pros alike can build fast with it. That speed + reactivity allows your software to better keep up with your converstaions that make it all so. Thats insanely powerful.
It's soooo good. Congratulations to Richard Harris and everyone on the Svelte/SvelteKit Team! <3
