The bulk of the new design is explained in these RFCs, which — hell, let's go ahead and do it now — are entering their final comment period, which will close on 28 Dec. Go! mobile.twitter.com/sveltejs/…
Apparently this tweet took some people by surprise, so: @sveltejs is currently getting a massive overhaul. We're rethinking the authoring experience from the ground up, and we think you're going to love it. (After the initial 'wait, really?' shock, anyway — it's quite... radical)
We'll be moving those RFCs into a final comment period soon, so if you have thoughts on the direction we're going in, now is your chance to share them. (Also, drop by the #future channel in our Discord server discord.gg/yy75DKs)
Building a component for a specific framework significantly limits your reach. "Nice file upload component! Oh too bad, it uses Angular but I use React." Build your components with @SvelteJS for portability, then use those in your framework of choice.
What if JavaScript were a truly reactive programming language?
let a = 1;
let b <= a * 2;
a = 2;
console.log(b); // 4
We've been asking that question in the @sveltejs chatroom this week, and here's our proposal: bit.ly/reactive-declarations
I gave a little love to the @sveltejs package for Curi (curi.js.org/packages/@curi/s…) and added a "Navigating" component for cancelling async navigation.
The package isn't quite up to feature parity with the React version, but it's getting there.

I'm under no illusions about @sveltejs being a tiny fish in a very large pond, but it's heartening to see that so many developers are excited about the future of web dev that Svelte represents. Onward! 2018.stateofjs.com
#FrameworkSummit2018 was lucky to have @little_bret share all about Svelte and how this framework helps solve the web's JavaScript bloat crisis. @sveltejs turns your templates into tiny, framework-less vanilla JavaScript. Learn more by watching Bret's talk youtube.com/watch?v=IRoxHYKC…

💥 And here is the video of @stubbornella's and my keynote at #ChromeDevSummit talking about our vision for a framework-inclusive future for the web platform and exciting new APIs being developed for y'all to play with and give feedback 🙏

Switched the @sveltejs RealWorld demo app over to Rollup (from webpack), saving 29%, which means the entire app is now comfortably smaller than (for example) React+ReactDOM. It's code-split though, so any given page is a fraction of that size github.com/sveltejs/realworl…
