That's kind of the point. It's for people who want that magic, not for people who are likely just going to start using Rust instead of continuing to force such rigidity and verbosity into JS/TS.

But it goes against the title of this post: "You Don't Need to “Learn” Svelte: Embracing the Simplicity of JavaScript". If the point of Svelte is the magic, why tell people they don't need to learn anything? The magic isn't part of JavaScript, so they'll have to learn it.

I'm not a fan of the article either, I'm specifically referencing the comment that doesn't understand why people like Svelte.
