   Sveltekit has been a breath of fresh air for me over the last few years.

   I've had to work on a Next.js for work and much prefer Sveltekit. Excited to try this release!

      what's the point of svelte in a world where the llm is much better at react due to massively more available training data?

         In my experience LLMs write mediocre React code: it works, but is the most naive implementation possible for a given task. It needs to be bullied extensively to write performant React that considers prop stability, does updates in event handlers instead of convoluted useEffect chains, etc. I haven't tried Svelte in a while but "lots of React in training data" doesn't feel like a huge boon to me.

            Tells you something about the average React code

               Or that there are a lot of very basic React tutorials out there.

               Like how half of PHP's problem for a while was w3schools.

                  tutorials are probably less than 0.1% of the training data compared to actual code, or you mean average project is influenced by basic tutorials?

                     Tutorials are often written in an imperative style that's a little like prompt injection. There's a lot more writing out there on "how to make a todo app demo" than for the complex shit.
