I think Svelte has a lot of momentum, but doesn't have quite as much support as some of its peers

Svelte is a free and open-source front end compiler created by Rich Harris and maintained by the Svelte core team members. Svelte is not a monolithic JavaScript library imported by applications: instead, Svelte compiles HTML templates to specialized code that manipulates the DOM directly, which may reduce the size of transferred files and give better client performance; application code is also processed by the compiler, inserting calls to automatically recompute data and re-render UI elements when the data they depend on is modified. This also avoids the overhead associated with runtime intermediate representations, such as virtual DOM, unlike traditional frameworks which carry out the bulk of their work at runtime, i.e in the browser. The compiler itself is written in TypeScript. Its source code is licensed under MIT License and hosted on GitHub.

That is very true. I still haven’t gotten into Svelte yet (I’m planning to at some point) but I do see a lot of people talking about it

try it, it's VERY easy and gets stuff done quickly and is very performant, that's my dream framework

svelte.dev has an excellent tutorial about svelte (it's the official site)

if you need a framework for more complex projects (I find svelte best for SPAs) try sveltekit
