I think svelte 5 is an actual innovation, it does not behave or feel like a “framework” to me. It feels like a natural extension of building an front end with raw html, css, js, solving the headaches you eventually hit when you do so.
Optimist take, the tech is shit and the people like Trump not JD Vance.
Cryptocurrency = Not being used as a currency, doesn’t even meet the criteria for a true medium of exchange.
AI = Can’t actually be used to automate these federal worker’s jobs, it’s snake oil.
Most importantly, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, although quite powerful and influential right now, are NOTHING without Trump. And as michael Bloomberg showed us, money alone doesn’t win elections.
Seriously this is a very well written article and the concerns are real, especially around the degradation of our institutions over the past 50+ years. But if you put JD Vance, Elon, or Peter thiel in front of your average American, the response will be a more derogatory form of “neurodivergent freak”.
In 1-2 years I’m predicting democrats take back the senate and house, 4 years we get a younger more normal democratic president. Hopefully most of the old neo lib democrats die off and we get more smart charged up dems like AOC, Buttigieg, and the fella from Georgia who will actually tell these rich bastards to stuff it.
Svelte 5 does a great job of raising warnings for this. You try to use an onclick on a div you get warning to make it tab-able and give it an aria role, and a reccomendation that you should probably be using a button.
One thing nearly every American agrees on is if you’re a citizen, you’re American. It’s actually an extremely welcoming and beautiful thing about this country.
