rfcs VS Svelte

```

We started experimenting with this ling of thought almost 3 years ago:

- First take (ref sugar), Nov 2020: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/pull/228

- Take 2, Aug 2021: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/pull/368

- Take 3, Nov 2021: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/369

We provided it as an experimental feature and had a decent number of users trying it out in production. The feedback wasn't great and eventually decided to drop it. https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/369#discussioncomm...

This is a personal preference, but I use ref almost all the time. Despite tediously writing the .value to access the ref’s value, the Vue team is aware of the problem, and the open RFC - Reactivity Transform, was aiming to solve this issue, however, seems like it was abandoned.

To stay updated, follow the RFC at https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/503.

This was a good change. Evan has always been extremely good at putting his finger on the pulse of the frontend community. If there's a feature or paradigm that people love that would fit in Vue, Evan will incorporate it. Over the years, Vue has implemented (and sometimes later deprecated) dependency injection, JSX support, custom elements, Angular-style class components, Svelte-style ref sugar, and now Solid-inspired compiler optimizations. They even changed the order of a Vue file to match that of Svelte: first the script, then the template.

Now the $on has been removed, but the event subject is causing some confusion, see: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/397

The RFC has shown that this feature is very controversial, with lots of implications. Personally, I liked it at first, but now I'm against it.

Here is the Current language: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/blob/function-apis/active-rfcs/0000-function-api.md

Plus, even that there is a real possibility that the controversial Reactivity Transform RFC leads to a Vue 4 version, it is likely to bring just minor breaking changes from Vue 3.

Svelte and specifically, SvelteKit is an open source web framework that makes developing web applications easier.

the technical decision how Svelte should treat self-closing html elements was hindered by Prettier:

Svelte

React has introduced measures like batching state updates, background concurrent rendering and memoization to tackle this. My opinion is that the best way to solve the problem is by improving their reactivity model. The app needs to be able to track the code that should be re-run on updating a given state variable and specifically update the UI corresponding to this update. Tools like solid.js and svelte work in this manner. It also eliminates the need for a virtual DOM and diffing.

Similarly to Promises/A+, this effort focuses on aligning the JavaScript ecosystem. If this alignment is successful, then a standard could emerge, based on that experience. Several framework authors are collaborating here on a common model which could back their reactivity core. The current draft is based on design input from the authors/maintainers of Angular, Bubble, Ember, FAST, MobX, Preact, Qwik, RxJS, Solid, Starbeam, Svelte, Vue, Wiz, and more…

Svelte is a powerful web framework that offers a fresh approach to building web applications. Its simplicity, reactivity model, and built-in features make it an excellent choice for developers looking to create efficient and maintainable applications. By following this guide, you should now have a good understanding of how to get started with Svelte and build your first components, routes, and transitions. You can read more about svelte on the official Svelte website.
