Setting `client:load` and `client:visible` for (svelte) islands you want to run on the client ends up inlining script type modules all around the html. It looked like a big hack to me.

On the positive side their use of web components is a nice bet.

And does it break something? I was replying to "islands work until they don't".

Web Components are a JavaScript/ECMAscript standard.

So this is like saying: _Their use of Arrays is a nice bet_

Not the op, but I’d guess islands become a PITA when there is user-visible state that must be synchronized and rendered coherently across multiple islands.
