Rich Harris joins Vercel to work on Svelte full time

Are we still taking about vue <template>? I don‘t see how that is any way close to html when it has: custom conditional and loop syntax and semantics, arbitrary js expressions and a unique concept of scope?

It does have extra non-native features but the overarching

  <template />
  <script />
  <style />

format for single file components is plain HTML which makes it feel closer to vanilla than React.

Yeah I never really understood this benefit. The file structure is irrelevant to me after 15 minutes, the nitty-gritty semantics of my code are causing me headaches and bugs forever.

(I like working with all 3 current frontend frameworks btw, not trying to start a flamewar)

I like it because it separates layout, styling, and scripting while still collating them in the same file.
