Spelt, introduced six years ago by Rich Harris to enhance data visualization, functioned as both a framework and a compiler, distinct from React or Vue. Spelt prided itself on simplicity and speed, eliminating unnecessary code in the final build. The user-friendly syntax allowed immediate reactivity with straightforward JavaScript code, unlike other frameworks.

Svelte 5 is coming and with it the addition of Svelte 5 Runes, a replacement for the let, =, export, and $: that we use in Svelte today. Runes replaces this old syntax with function syntax to achieve the same old things and more. In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss a brief history of Svelte before diving into what was shown off so far about Svelte 5 Runes. The duo then discuss the learning experience for those studying Svelte 4 and whether they should stop and wait for Svelte 5. This leads to a debate about keeping websites up and running with maintenance, and how updates like Svelte 5 can help or hurt a site in production.
