Nice one Hallski - what did you like about it? Perhaps you can blog about it at some point

Yes, that is my intention (though I have had that intention to often without getting to it so don’t hold your breath ).

Was thinking this morning that I should formulate an answer to that question before posting but then work started so posted anyway. There are several aspects I quite like.

With the reactive stores it brings to mind Cycle.is which I was exploring a few years ago and really liked. Though I felt it was a bit too foreign for a lot of developers (unless you have a team that is very experienced with Rx).

Svelte allows for very natural integration to observables with excellent integration into the view layer. All you need to know at the component level is that any part
depending on a observable value will be updated once the value is.

The second thing is that it feels much closer to vanilla while still being much higher level. You write normal CSS and HTML instead of JSX and css-in-js (while still getting component local styling). Any HTML that can do HTML with inlined script-tags will let you work well in Svelte.

The Pudding site was really cool as well as the article about Lenna.
