Can't wait to figure out how to staff a 5+ person engineering team who can deliver a SvelteJS product , oh and also maintain the codebase for 5+ years when likely a small minority (if any) of the original engineers are still around!

For what it's worth I've been a native mobile dev for the past 10 years, barely touching any sort of web stuff (maybe updating my resume here and there). I was able to pick up Svelte very quickly, about 2-3 weeks tops.

It's about a 4 hr learning curve from react - but I'm not shilling svelte, just showing that there are already superior models. Pre-compiling is really objectively better in every way except popularity, and that will change because of its betterness.

What if you're compiling to JavaScript from another language, like e.g. Kotlin/JS? Does the Svelte compiler rely on some very particular JavaScript syntax, or could you run it on the JavaScript output from another compiler?

Superior in what way? Do you really trust that SvelteJS is going to be a better product in 5 years over something like React that Facebook invests millions of dollars every year?

And also server side rendered SPA (keeping the VDOM on the server)
