Discussion on: SVELTE. Will it ever have a chance against React.js?

I have a Svelte app that I first did in Vue.js. The current size is half what Vue.js application was, and I added several large features above what the Vue.js application had. So, I think the podcast you heard was exaggerating some. It hasn’t been my experience with Svelte so far.

I think the creator of Svelte itself said this and he is aware of this and working on the problem, I will try to find the podcast.

I've also done some work with React.js and the same project with svelte. I can say the svelte version was smaller by Alot. I heard in a review that the virtual Dom as fancy as it sounds is just over head. You think that's true?
