Frontend

I was dreading working on a web3 svelte app that requires ethereum and cosmos wallet connections. All the web3 libraries are react with some having vanilla option

But it turns out you don't need a svelte option. Just pull the vanilla @wevm wagmi lib and it just works. Shit just works like that

Svelte’s ecosystem is huge because it’s trivial to adapt vanilla JavaScript things. (It’s about to become even easier when Svelte 5 drops this April!)

In React, everything has to be wrapped or rewritten in terms of React providers and hooks – it’s practically a different programming language.

Any chance the reasons svelte crew loves svelte so much is because they’re adopting it after learning lots and lots of stuff they maybe take for granted (ie gained experience) while working in other ecosystems, and are just better, more well-rounded engineers today compared to when they started writing react?

I have zero beef with svelte - actually dig it. I’ve loved every framework I’ve worked with more than the last, but backbone wasn’t all that bad - I’ve just grown 🤷
