...but with Svelte we also can have no runtime - ok, 3-5kb for signals in Svelte 5 - with all the above advantages and more. Just getting rid of the customization and compilation steps seems, well, a bit of a far-fetched goal to me... I can still somehow agree with the idea of a "vanilla environment with no extra frameworks/toolsets", but with using Markup or Lit - what difference does it actually make?

Nevertheless, great article, thanks. I like to do crazy things from time to time too =)
