What is Svelte

A newer tool for building the screens of a website, written in JavaScript or TypeScript. Known for small, fast results.

In plain terms

Svelte turns interface code into very small, fast output ahead of time. It consistently tops developer-satisfaction surveys. SvelteKit is its full-application framework. Its job market is smaller than React's, so Svelte developers usually carry React history as well.

What it tells you about a developer

Svelte in personal projects signals a developer who tracks the frontend state of the art by choice. A Svelte developer is a JavaScript or TypeScript developer, and works in React after a short ramp.
