Rich Harris on the Svelte 5 reception

[@pookiepats]

I will always hold that the magic of Svelte is Rich's charm, not the functionality. No hate, but it truly is just repeating what backbone & vue had already explored - the course correction from 3 to 5 were things Evan foretold - it's not rocket science. Without this man's superb presentation & articulation skills, Svelte would just be in the bin with Blitz & Qwik & Vanjs & Mithril -- all doing interesting quirky approaches but in the end - they don't have a Rich Harris.

Also Rich's good taste and ability to course correct.

@@Sammi84 yes great point, too often the story is one of ego and stubbornness; the man really is a gem.

I don't wanna be rude, but the host makes this talk really hard to listen to.
