I work on a huge angular project and I can’t help but see svelte as a toy in comparison. Must be nice when everything just falls into place.
Maybe it's because angular is like dropping a nuke to kill a spider?

That comparison makes assumptions about the size of the problem OP is dealing with. What makes you think it's spider-sized?

It goes all the way upstream. People build SAAS companies offering services based on best practices while the product/engineering have had zero prior experience with the subject until their current project. People found companies selling themselves to investors as experts in the field that they have no experience in. Investors sell themselves as experts of the industry that they just invested in these founders for. P…
I like the fact minimalist approaches, like svelte, htmx and alpine.js are getting more and more traction. I felt like fighting this fight alone for years in the golden years of node, webpack and react where everybody was creating crazy stacks and adding GraphQL and so on, to basically get what Django + jquery did 10 years ago in a tenth of the time and code. So far I also survived: - xml is the future - let's use no…
I love svelte, but how is it minimalist? How is requiring a compiler for a web app minimalist?

I don't want people preaching hooks as the greatest invention since fire talks anyways. Such code if spotted anywhere in a backend would be slammed for being horrendous and violating almost any intuition definition of maintainable code. The svelte documentation is already great. This evengleism is good for commercial products. For technical open source, subjective evaluation is all that is needed. You evaluate whethe…
Rich Harris is definitely not a humble guy. He pretty much can't talk about Svelte without framing it as the savior to modern web. And I would say some of the things he pushes are blatantly false

Wouah ! Sam&Max, je me demandais bien où vous étiez passé.
En ce moment on s'amuse à générer du hentai avec stable diffusion en Python. Ca aurait fait un bon article pour le blog si il existait encore :)

Software itself hasn't "evolved" over the last 40 or 50 years. It only ever gets better because the hardware becomes better. There is no true innovation in software development. Folks that "innovate" either reinvent the wheel or capitalise on hardware improvement.
Look at all the fascinating runtimes that have evolved. Erlang, Haskell, Go, Rust, and include any other. You don’t consider any of these evolution? Back then, programmers were still using threads for everything. Now we have “green threads”. One example of a pretty great evolution. Albeit it does feel like software evolves slower than hardware.
On an intuitive level software seems like a tool to me. Latin had much more gramatical rules than todays English but that doesn't mean it "devolved" or that English isn't as powerful as Latin.
Blockchain is a mathematical idea and software the tool to use it. And LLMs are much more about statistical problem solving enabled through more computing power than about inventing something new.
And correct me if I'm wrong but aren't virtual threads fast enough also because of more computational power? A virtual machine is usually 1/3 times slower than the native machine it runs on.

Yeah, I did a project in sveltekit + go and then one in htmx, alpinejs + golang. Sveltekit is quite big and not low maintenance. Not sure what exact use case sveltekit would be good for, that can't be solved with htmx + alpinejs.
htmx, alpinejs + golang is the exact stack I've been thinking about. I'm not a front-end developer, but want to be able to prototype things quickly. Are you aware of any public examples of this stack that go beyond "Hello, World!"?

It's the second, younger generation of devs who are realizing that "complexity kills". Those of us who started in 2000's have already seen this. It's a natural cycle. We are seeing a spring-back to monoliths and away from micro-services and crazy tooling chains. It was completely unnecessary, and most importantly, cost the industry a fortune. If you are older, you have been wondering why you need to work more to achi…
> it takes 3 days to set up your microservices locally Why do you need all microservices locally? Why wouldn't you set up just the relevant one, and proxy the traffic to the rest of the services already deployed? Or, failing that, why don't you have a docker-compose file that has already pre-configured your services to run locally?

I know the routing isn't the easiest, but I find myself navigating with CTRL+P and typing the route I want to work on.
How would you otherwise navigate that you find difficult with SvelteKit?
