Jake Dohm – Svelte is Life
Svelte has gained popularity this year as an alternative to the big JS frameworks. The Svelte hype-train has left the station and there are some really compelling reasons why. It differs from React/Vue/Angular in some major ways. It compiles to DOM manipulation code directly, instead of bundling a Virtual DOM implementation, and it leverages a compiler to allow for a beautiful syntax for templating and reactivity.
In this talk, we’ll take a journey through the best parts of Svelte, the tradeoffs that it requires, and why you might reach for it on a project.
