Activity of sveltejs/svelte repository

The sveltejs/svelte GitHub repository pertains to Svelte, which is a revolutionary new way to build web applications. It is a radical JavaScript framework developed for building user interfaces.

Svelte is written in TypeScript and it converts your apps into ideal JavaScript at build time, instead of evaluating it on client side like other JavaScript frameworks. Unlike traditional frameworks like React and Vue, Svelte is a compiler that pulls your components into highly efficient imperative code that surgically updates the DOM.

Some significant features of Svelte include:

• Reactivity: Svelte offers a unique reactive system.
• No Virtual DOM: Unlike other frameworks, Svelte makes changes directly to the DOM when state changes.
• Best Performance: As the component logic is executed during the compile time, the JS package ends up being very lightweight leading to fast load times.
• Ease of learning: It has an easy learning curve especially if you are already familiar with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Moreover, the repository is quite active with regular commits. As of writing this, the repository has over 47K stars and more than 1.3K contributions.

For beginners and even experienced developers, the repository contains a good amount of documentation and active community support.
