Computer, build me an app
summary
Shows a concrete compiler-based approach that generates vanilla JS from HTML-like components so apps ship far less code: Svelte compiles to scoped CSS and tiny JS classes, supports cross-fade transitions, and exposes a component API for live updates. Benchmarks claim ~40% of a comparable React bundle and a production client payload of less than 7 KB versus ~200 KB for a Next/React example, plus faster time to first meaningful paint, fewer lines of code, and a GUI builder demo.
