Svelte is just a better product than React/Vue/Angular in every sense (elegance, ease of use, speed, size). The best analogy is given by Rich himself Svelte is electric motor compared to internal combustion engines of the big 3. Svelte will easily surpass them if ecosystem grows and more developers get on board. I'm particularly keen to see Sveltekit 1.0. Thanks Vercel for hiring Rich and by doing so supporting this hidden gem of JS world.
Yes, thanks, Vercel and Rich. One of the reasons we are using Vercel is Svelte and Rich joining the team. We have jumped all in on Svelte and Svelte-Kit for our products at Liquid Analytics. DX is everything.
Why is Vue always listed with Angular and React ? Both have a trillion dollar company backing them up, both have around 40-50 percent job marketshare, I guess Vue is in between Svelte and those 2.
As a non-native English speaker, this always makes me laugh: "You wanna kick things off by introducing yourself?" "Sure! I'm rich. I've been at Vercel for the last three weeks."
One of the things that is just sooo important to me, is that those of us that write CSS still get to write actual CSS. That means writing selectors, cascade layers, container queries, transitions, scoping, nesting etc.
That was great! It's always so interesting to hear Rich talk about web. Super happy to hear about him joining the team, exciting times ahead! And so many points you touched on re: open-source maintenance hit the nail on the head. Would love to see more informal interview-style videos like this :)
I'm so happy that Rich addressed the scalability concern starting at 17:00 . I was shocked to learn in the "Getting Started With Svelte" tutorial by John Papa (September '21) that, for the same app with 50 components (by no means gigantic) in four different frameworks, the Svelte version bundle size equivalent was almost the same as for the Angular, React, and Vue versions. A naive projection would have that app at twice the size of the others if 100 components were included. It turns out that starting with a large shared "blob" of framework code can mean that each component you add to the project contributes much less to the final size (as a percentage of the total). So I'm looking forward to seeing how the Svelte brain trust figures out how to keep the simplicity and lightweight nature of the framework while also addressing this concern.
This is a very good point. Also recently found that out, actually you can find the articles addressing the issue which are 2-3 years old. The solution is using code splitting, which you would do to a big app anyway with any library these days.
Vercel can support Next & Svelte and more because the end goal is hosting--so pushing the space forward and being closer to the developer is a good strategy.
All I can say is we have a React app that has a certain amount of productivity predictability that holds true for every dev we've ever hired. Even very experienced React devs we hired seem to be in the same ballpark (with our app). When we played around with Svelte we found our productivity x * 4 easily. Simply because we're not running Google queries based on "How to do x?" "... with React" "... with hooks" "... React component that does x" With Svelte is just "how do to x?" and that's it
I believe Rich said for now they are focusing on Web but since svelte is a compiler they could potentially look into making things like Svelte-native more builtin but not 100% on that stuff yet.
Does Svelte have a preferred third party state management like Redux on React? Or is native state management would be fine? Sorry for this newbie question here.
I just hope Svelte will concentrate more on Forms. it’s has more use than motions, MVP’s doesn’t really have that many motions depending on what you’re creating…
@@alichamas63 I'm not asking it as a feature for v4... maybe sooner v9 or something... but hey, I'm just hoping for it, I was not demanding that they should...
I believe that's kind of the point? Like most MVPs would like to have some motion in them, but are deterred by the fact that you have to use something like say Framer Motion in React and deal with all the costs associated with it, while it's dirt cheap in Svelte, like you don't have to use motion, but if you want to its just there. Having said that I'll admit it would be nice to have form validation inbuilt. Maybe not in Svelte itself, but as a module in SvelteKit perhaps?
Personally I had a interview with a technical recruiter at Meta like 6 weeks ago and I brought up that I had been using it in open source work. He seemed cool with it 👍🏻
Using a framework only speeds things up in the beginning. It then becomes an obstacle as the application needs more fine-tuning and as new major versions of the framework are shipped. Take any project that’s more than a few years old and you’ll identify the problem I outlined above almost in 100% of the cases.
@@xman6267 lots of pain. There is no easy things once you expand your project after certain level.

i have used svelte and sveltekit for the past month building two projects with it. i could deliver a lot more than i would normally with nextjs and react. eventhough i think next is wonderful tool sveltekit feels reacts better if could put things this way
I don't know whether you're trying to make a positive or negative point here, but that's nothing other than encouraging for svelte, given the dearth of community libraries and the lack of a framework.
@@ritwik5774I don't think Svelte is for everyone. Just because something new is touted as "faster" and "simpler" that doesn't also equate to the best solution for your app. I use Vue and do admit the learning curve is higher than Svelte, but some of that complexity is because it does more things than Svelte probably does which is like component inheritance. Correct me if I'm wrong but I do not see that feature highlighted on Svelte. For small projects that's extremely simple or for even beginners to JS... Svelte seems a solid choice.
What about angular? Things that svelt is discussing about implementing were included in angular from day one. Anybody plz. What's is wrong with angular that people don't even mention it...??
As someone who learned both I can tell you that Angular is incredibly hard learn and has too much boilerplate code. I don‘t like Angular but I use it at work. Svelte was very different. Almost everything made sense from the start. Angular‘s only big advantages are it‘s adoption and integrated ecosystem which eliminates decision fatigue especially in big teams. But Svelte is (personal opinion) better in every other regard and it‘s catching up with Angular.
At this point I'm just wondering why any framework could not have both: an easy learning curve / simple syntax from Svelte/Vue, and an "all-batteries-included" philosophy from Angular. I hate using my time finding 15 packages I need to build a simple app, and the plumbing to make them work together. Sometimes I feel I'm the only one who prefers building features to plumbing. That's why I never used React. And on the back-end side, I favor old MVC frameworks like Django or Rails to build stuff without reinventing the wheel.
Some of us absolutely do prefer to use Angular. It's a great framework, it's not slower than react and it has everything you need included from the get go. I'm extremely productive in it and prefer it over react. I never had a hard time picking up Angular, for me it was relatively easy to learn the basics and expand my knowledge over time. I do wonder how much programming experience people who claim it's so hard to learn really has, because it's really not that hard for a seasoned programmer to pick up.
Let's not forget the complications react added with concurrent mode that really kills of the way hooks are utilized in useEffect() to track state management of v Dom. Not to mention that they introduced this feature as a way to fight off the fundamental flaw of their v Dom utilization for updating trees which tends to get extremely inefficient especially with the need to have to write more Javascript to fight tackle that problem that eventually leads to creating larger bundles.
Before I knew Svelte, I was learning React and Vue. Not sure it's wasted of time. I should not say this. And now I'm afraid of newer better tech, and need to learn new things again.
Not a waste of time. Learning any framework is not a waste of time because you will still get some knowledge no matter what. One thing that I would say is that learning programming in general and learning JavaScript is even better than just learning frameworks. Having those fundamentals helps a lot while learning frameworks.
Try to implement a regular list that renders an array of 200 component instances as rows. Do that in React and then in Svelte. You will understand why Svelte is better. No work arounds like "memo" to make things performant. After this try to subscribe the array content to a global store variable for reactivity, try to implement a sort or filter. React simply fails to keep things running smoothly. And this is just a simple example for a super common use case in web development, a dynamic list.
Rich: "If a good tool existed to solved a problem, there would be no need for other tools" The 100 new frameworks of javascript this week: "am I a joke to you?"
I do not believe that Svelte and React are competitors at all (everything else just sucks at this point). And yes, they do solve similar problems, but in vastly different ways. And even philosophically, both ideas have merit and open up possibilities that no other tool can provide. The fact that most people do not utilize all that potential is a different topic entirely. It is a genius move on Vercels part to hire Rich. In fact, I am really surprised that no other company has snatched him already by now. Especially Google, with their embarrassment of a framework, or Facebook, or even Microsoft.
