Hi Evan You! (Hi from wentin) It's great to see you here in this thread. It's such a wonderful gesture for the open-source community to collaborate in this manner, by sharing valuable lessons learned the hard way.
It’s intriguing to see where the Svelte exploration will lead. Will it face disapproval or achieve success? While I agree that both implementations have arrived at the same place (almost serendipitously), their origins differ. For Vue, it's about adding the syntactic sugar by dropping .value, making it less explicit and more magical. In contrast, Svelte made the change to make things more explicit and reduce the “black magicness” from the svelte compiler, and bring it more similar to javascript. This difference might trigger totally different reaction, time will tell.
