"No one ever got fired for choosing React", as they say. It's the safe bet for building web apps today. But when my C++ team had to choose a web framework to demo their code in, they unanimously voted for another solution, Svelte, over React. Why is that?
In this talk, I explore Svelte from the viewpoint of a developer whose main job is not web development, but has to create a web app for some task anyway. Hopefully I will be able to convince you that you will never be fired for choosing React -- but you might just be hired for choosing Svelte.
