How is it overly verbose?

I find it very intuitive, with the exception of useEffect.

React:

import { useState } from "react";

function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
      Count: {count}
    </button>
  );

}

---------- Svelte:

<script> let count = 0; </script>

<button on:click={() => count += 1}> Count: {count} </button> --------------- React: function Editor({ initialText }) { const [text, setText] = useState(initialText);

  useEffect(() => {
    setText(initialText);
  }, [initialText]);

  return (
    <textarea
      value={text}
      onChange={e => setText(e.target.value)}
    />
  );

} --------------------- Svelte:

<script> export let initialText; let text = initialText;

  $: text = initialText;

</script>

<textarea bind:value={text} />

  • No one's going to mention VueJS?

    • I enjoy being a Vue main in these discussions, mostly because everyone leaves us alone lol

      I really enjoy the syntax of Vue over React, and if it’s an application that’s complex enough to warrant something like React I’ll almost always reach for Vue so long as it also meets the requirements.
