Svelte Tenets by Rich Harris

The Svelte philosophy revolves around their bedrock principles that guide their design decisions. They believe that the web is a crucial technology that needs to be preserved. Svelte strives to optimize for vibes, focusing on creating a framework that aligns with users’ aesthetic sensibilities rather than aiming to be the fastest or smallest. They also value an HTML-first approach, enhancing HTML’s capabilities for describing interactive UI. Svelte embraces progress and looks for ways to incorporate new ideas from other frameworks. They reject the blind adherence to metrics and prioritize qualitative thinking over quantitative analysis. The goal is to make Svelte code feel magical and empower users to dream big in their app development aspirations. Finally, Svelte is community-driven, and they value open communication and consensus when making decisions.
