Integration with things like TypeScript is on the nice-to-have list — we have an issue here: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/58 > How does this compare to preact? Last time I checked, Svelte was faster. Need to get some automated benchmarks up and running, and compare sizes (and parse & startup time) for equivalent non-trivial apps.

- Yes: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-loader - Unsure - Preact is essentially a lightweight implementation of React. As such, it requires a runtime, albeit an incredibly small one, to dynamically render HTML from JSX (Edit: Well, compiled JSX. Essentially hyperscript function calls.). Svelte components compile at buildtime to pure es5, so you can just run it directly on the client without a runtime. There are benefits and drawbacks to each method, but that's the gist of their main differences.
