Svelte 3: Rethinking Reactivity

I admire Rich Harris' work as well. 4 years ago I was picking my first SPA framework. Narrowed it down to Ractive and Vue. Picked ractive, it had a beautiful documentation and tutorial. Still have an app in production based on ractive. But author abandoned it. Then vue 2 took off. I didn't have a choice but switch. Recently I started playing with Svelte/Sapper again. I like it a bit better than vue for some reason and was looking to use it in the next project of mine. So svelte 3 comes at right time for me.

The author is a brilliant developer, but he should narrow his focus on Sapper/Svelte now, beside which he has many other projects (rollup, etc...)

To be clear though, Ractive is still under development by other maintainers: https://github.com/RactiveJS/Ractive.

Not to speak for him, but I think Rich is an "idea guy" and we'd all miss out if he were throttled to just one thing :-)

I still use ractive for production apps today, and have legacy ractive apps that are from 2013’ish running great
