> the more Svelte you write, the more compiled code appears - generally, Svelte compiles to a size somewhat larger than the original source file.

This is one of those things that's more of a problem in theory than in practice, but nevertheless it's worth mentioning that Svelte 5 output is _much_ smaller than Svelte 4 output.

I assume that the Svelte 5 output is smaller because more stuff is being handled internally by signals, rather than the compiled output. Does that mean that the shared "runtime" code is larger, or have you just managed to shrink everything down here?

I'm very impressed by this stuff - I'm still not sold on the implicit reactivity, but I'm really excited about the pressure this is putting on the ecosystem as a whole and where that's going to go.
