Ask HN: Is Svelte more performant than React?

6 pointsandrewstuart2 comments

Recent threads on HN I have read various people stating with certainty that SvelteJS is more performant than ReactJS.

This all sounds like wheel spinning and hot air to me.

But what is the truth? Is SvelteJS faster than React?

If you think it is hot air you should do the benchmark yourself, not ask more opinions that you don't want to trust. Yes, any modern frontend framework like React is faster than React, svelte just one of them. There is also Lit, solid, quik and many more

Does it really matter? It appears that most time these days is spent in making API calls especially to third party services at least if my own company's web UI is anything to go by.
