First off, thanks for chiming in with that detailed explanation. It's always a learning curve when you dive into the technical side of things, and I genuinely appreciate it.

Given the constraints with TypeScript not being further compilable, I've been pondering on Svelte's direction. Personally, I'd lean towards letting go of some of the special touches in js/ts file if it means keeping more magic in Svelte. If we're heading towards making Svelte syntax work exactly the same in js/ts entirely, it feels like we might risk turning Svelte from its unique language-like identity into just another framework in the JS world.

Thanks again for the insights! I have already felt a little better about my current work in migrating an app from another framework to svelte 4. I was worried that I have made a very wasteful decision for my own company.
