> the time to first meaningful render in svelte is substantially, substantially lower than it is in React, and you face none of the drawbacks of using the React starter stuff (ie ejecting isn't a thing). This may seem like a weird metric, but I think it's pretty vital.

I think this is the most important metric of any JS project.

We rarely need to update thousands of dom elements per second, but all JS projects need to download and start running ASAP. Specially on mobile.

This talk was pretty enlightening: https://vimeo.com/364402896

Thanks for the link. Incidentally I have that same talk bookmarked. Though for the record, I have needed to render thousands of dom elements per second :)
