Discussion on: Pitch to me: why should I use Svelte?

Svelte is a breeze to learn coming from a Vue background. And I find almost everything to be easier and faster about it.

I’ve been using it for about a year.

Here’s a fairly simple website I built recently using Svelte, Sveltekit, Typescript, Pug and GraphCMS. zenithterminals.com

I haven’t used it for anything more complicated yet. But looking forward to doing so soon.

Thanks for the answer! Considering Svelte is relatively new, do you have any difficulties when trying to find modules/plugins?

I didn’t have any trouble.

I did look for a plug-in that allowed me to use Pug, which I found and it worked well. Otherwise I stuck pretty close to Sveltekit defaults.

I should also mention I used TailwindCSS and configuration was straightforward following their instructions.

I also staged and deployed with Vercel which was almost disturbingly easy.
