that should return `unknown`, but that can be fixed.) It's also worth keeping in mind that all languages have and require schema validation, it just might look different. Both Rust and Go have schema validation libraries - typically they parse the data directly into the correct format, but in Rust you could do something like `let x: HashMap<String, JsonValue> = string.parse()` and get roughly the same effect as Javascript's JSON.parse, it's just that JS/TS has a built-in data structure to represent arbitrary JSON data, whereas Rust does not. > To be clear, they are not "using" TypeScript, it's more accurate to say they are providing TypeScript bindings. To be clearer: they are absolutely using Typescript. The functions (and other parts of the code) are annotated using Typescript's extension of JSDoc types, which means Typescript can parse and typecheck this code as if it were "normal" Typescript, including generating type definition files. The .d.ts files in the source code are used to define additional types and interfaces that can be used in the .js files (you can see the first file you linked to import type definitions from ESTree, for example). The type checking step can be seen in the package.json file[0]. This is all explained in the comment from Rich Harris that you linked before. Using JSDoc rather than conventional Typescript syntax makes writing your source code more complicated, but in this case the Svelte team figured it would benefit them more in the long run to still be writing code that could be interpreted by a normal Javascript runtime. However, it really is just a different syntax for Typescript, and that's how they are using it. [0]: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/blob/80557bbc1c8a94c43a95...

olled by Default, Which Can Cause Issues Same here, Svelte always had this behavior. As you also state, this is present in other frameworks, such as Vue itself, which you're promoting as better than Svelte > Ecosystem If you want someone to point out the issues people had when migrating to Vue3, and still have to this day, sure. Every framework really, when they go through such a big change. > Community Response Criticism is fine. But a lot of the things have been discussed over and over tbh, and a lot of it is poorly structured, e.g. saying "svelte is react now", which just brings noise to the table. I've personally seen a lot of other criticism which has led to action being taken. As a proof of that, recently here in hacker news there was a post criticizing Svelte 5. It is now mentioned on this PR as a change for it https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/pull/15469 I do criticize things in Svelte as well, e.g. I do like the patterns for passing reactivity through boundaries, but I do think it needs to be well documented on how to, as people can get a bit lost. Or maybe some utilities shipped to it. But I don't personally like `ref` and `createSignal`. They come with their own issues.

ield parameters with esnext into constructor-set parameters as they are just more versatile. So the original code becomes something like: class Wrapper { constructor(el: HTMLElement) { this.dom = $state(el) } } Which is incompatible with rules of runes. I did whine about this already https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/14600 but so far no clear answer
