Svelte seemingly borrows a lot from the excellent RiotJS - which has been around almost as long as React.

That's quite interesting, I was not aware of that

I can't find it in the documentation - is Riot using virtual / shadow DOM? Because the main difference between Svelte and other libraries is that much is done in compile time.

As far as I understand, Svelte borrows ideas from Vue and React. But pretty much all libraries now look alike so it's hard to realize which one borrows from another.
