Kind of bending definitions to say svelte doesn't have any dependencies once compiled. Svelte itself is a dependency, and though complex and bundled there are svelte utilities included in the app that aren't code directly written by the user. Anecdotally, if also be very interested to see any example of a production Svelte project that doesn't pull in any other dependencies.

The article also calls out no build step, though it's not in the title. That's an important factor for the kind of project that isn't updated regularly and needs to work without any fuss after a year or two of going stale.

I'm a big fan of svelte by the way, been using it since pre-release 2.0 and still reach for it whenever I need a more complex state management or don't have the time to roll my own animation trigger utilities.

Fair points.
