It's more like the other way around..

The truth about Svelte: https://gist.github.com/Rich-Harris/0f910048478c2a6505d1c321...

Svelte was a minimalistic and familiarity-optimised response to Imba:

"These projects are all very cool, but there's a reason they haven't hit mass adoption: they want to control the entire world. You can't adopt Elm or Imba incrementally" - Rich Harris of Svelte

Imba: Created in 2010. Released some 7 years ago, Github repo in around 2015. https://imba.github.io/imba-guide/lvl0/about/

Svelte: Initial release November 26, 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svelte
