Jerod and Adam talked with Rich Harris –a JavaScript Journalist on The New York Times Investigations team– about his magical disappearing UI framework called Svelte. We compare and contrast Svelte to React, how the framework is embedded in a component, build time vs. run time, scoping CSS to components, and CSS in JavaScript. Rich also shares where Svelte v3 is heading and the details on Sapper, a framework for building extremely high-performance progressive web apps, powered by Svelte.

I really hope that things like Svelte and lit-html will take off and hit the mainstream in the end.

React has played a huge role in the adoption of the component-based approach to web apps development, it taught us a lot but it needs to step down. And I don’t believe that the successor is Vue.js, I think Svelte or lit-html is the next thing but those need some time and a little bit of marketing push.

Once Svelte 3 drops, I’m going to give it a go on some changelog.com components and might livestream the experiment on our Twitch channel if anyone is interested.
