Thank you gyurisc :)
So welcome to the frontend world :D you will love it ;)
You really should try Svelte if you have some spare time.
As I'm doing much web performance stuff, I like the fact to ship my application without the framework code to production. Svelte shifts the work into the compiler. For React, in particular, you need the framework code in your production app. Reacts production code is not an overhead, because they help you with a lot of things you would have to implement yourself, but it is still code that has to run.

I would love to have an overview or blog post about a comparison on just the technical facts. But your right, they try to solve similar problems. You can add VueJs and some others.
Moreover, Rich Harris deceived us all by making us think of Svelte as a UI framework ;). Maybe with Svelte you learning a new language instead of a frontend framework :)
