Can someone explain what this is? Not much context and it's at the top of HN. Whoa.

Svelte is a frontend framework that isn't React, Angular, or Vue. This work is towards an installer that isn't Node. If you do frontend work and don't like React, Angular, Vue, and Node, this is all the things you like.
(It's me, I dislike frontend frameworks and node and like svelte)
It's also a frontend framework that builds custom client-side JavaScript, which is where the "compiler" part comes in. This makes it way more efficient on the browser than the generic VDOM-diffing approach found in React, etc. Almost as quick as a static site, while preserving full interactivity.
Yeah this appears to be a repo with exactly one commit in it. Hopefully the author follows through and makes it but for now it's not really worth judging.
Did you want more information on Svelte itself?
Yeah, it's close to an empty project.
But since it's web-dev related and rust-dev related it deserves the front page on Hacker News...
