Svelte; "rethinking reactivity" framework

Rich Harris is a staff engineer at Vercel, where he works on Svelte full-time. He created Svelte while working as a graphics editor at The Guardian, later open-sourcing it and building SvelteKit as its application framework. His 'Rethinking Reactivity' talk popularised the idea of the compiler as framework, influencing a broader shift in front-end architecture.
