Genuine question: where does the svelte complier hide JS warts? I've used Svelte for some production tools and personally in a few projects.

My experience thus far is that if you don't have at least a base-level understanding of JS you really can't use Svelte to its fullest. I can back up that intuition by having observed the svelte support channel on discord, where many of the questions really wind up being questions about javascript rather than Svelte.
