So I googled, found the Svelte homepage, and I'm still none the wiser as to why it might be an easy intro to web development.
Honestly, if Svelte is as easy as you suggest to get your head around, somebody needs to work on the presentation of that.
If I was hiring a JS dev, and someone _only_ had svelte on their CV, I'd be a bit reluctant to hire them, only because the svelte compiler hides a lot of JS warts (which I think people should be aware of).
My experience thus far is that if you don't have at least a base-level understanding of JS you really can't use Svelte to its fullest. I can back up that intuition by having observed the svelte support channel on discord, where many of the questions really wind up being questions about javascript rather than Svelte.
What do you feel Svelte is doing that hides "warts"?
Hacky stuff tends to turn me off from a tech. (I consider all my Vue work to be instant tech debt, because I know I will be replacing it down the road...)
- smaller (it compiles your app, and doesn't include itself in the results)
- faster (no virtual DOM, the data to elements are mapped at compile time)
- simpler - `age = 30` no boring state management.
You're right about the web page - I wanted them to drop 'Cybernetically enhanced web apps' for 'smaller faster simpler' - there was a GitHub issue for it: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/3269
