I decided to compare React and Svelte, two JavaScript frameworks, to show the differences between them. To do that, I created a pitch deck app using both frameworks, making them as identical as possible.
In the first corner, we have React. React is the dominant JavaScript framework today, holding tight to its (very commanding) lead. While React, created by FaceBook, has had competitors, it’s the JS framework you’re most likely to encounter today at startups, and frequently in job postings.
In the other corner, we have Svelte. Svelte is an up-and-comer with nowhere near React’s market share, but it’s just getting started. Created by Rich Harris, a New York Times employee, it offers something different: a simplified structure and an emphasis on run-time performance, including things like fast load times.
