Discussion on: Why a React developer used Svelte for an Arcade

I am still interested in the advantages of progressive web apps like remix on top of react (having reactDOM and digestion loop) to svelte. Progressive means the website works with javascript turned off. But has better features with it on.

I wish remix was built on top of svelte. And svelte ran on deno. Deno’s native extensions makes linting, compiling, testing, and such extremely quick. Javascript code has the same performance. But could get AoT speed ups in the future. Like compiling typescript to web assembly? One can dream.

I think I am a fan of svelte for most cases. But really tied. Both have interesting solutions.

Is progressive web app definitely what you meant?

Without JavaScript might be incorrect in describing PWAs unless I'm not up to speed on PWAs.

As far as I understand PWAs make use of service workers, smart caching, offline capabilities where possible. But they do need JS

Very valid points otherwise, I appreciate your point about TS to Web Assembly.
