As a backend dev who dabbles in cloud stuff, I’ve always hit a wall with frontends. My backends are solid, but when it comes to the user interface, I’m lost. I usually fall back on basic HTML templates and old-school JavaScript. The result? Websites that look ancient.
I bet other backend folks face this too. We like server-side rendering because it’s straightforward and problems are easy to pinpoint. Svelte 5 feels like it builds on this idea, but way better.
I’ve tried other frameworks, but they never stuck. Svelte 5 is different. After going through their tutorials (which are awesome, by the way), I actually built a decent frontend for my app. It wasn’t a mess like my previous React attempts.
What I love about Svelte 5 is how it pushes you towards writing clean code. It’s like it understands what backend devs need.
I’m still learning, but I wanted to give a shout-out to the Svelte team. You’ve made something that finally makes sense to us backend folks. I think it’s going to be huge.
Quick thought on SSR: It’s great, but I don’t want to run a Node server for it, especially for side projects. Svelte 5 feels like SSR without the hassle.
yo, svelte 5 sounds dope! i’m a backend dev too and always struggled with frontend stuff. have you tried any cool features like the new runes system? curious how it compares to traditional state management. also, hows the learning curve compared to other frameworks youve tried?
As a backend developer who’s ventured into the frontend world, I can relate to your experience with Svelte 5. It’s refreshing to find a framework that speaks our language.
One aspect I’ve found particularly valuable is Svelte’s approach to reactivity. It feels more intuitive than the complex state management systems in other frameworks. The compiler-based approach also aligns well with how we think about optimizing backend code.
Have you explored Svelte’s component composition model? It’s surprisingly straightforward and reminds me of how we structure backend services. This familiarity makes it easier to architect larger applications.
Regarding SSR, Svelte’s solution is indeed elegant. It removes a lot of the complexity we typically associate with SSR setups. Have you looked into how it handles data fetching and state hydration? These are areas where Svelte really shines for backend developers transitioning to full-stack roles.
I’m curious about your experience with TypeScript integration in Svelte 5. As backend developers, we often appreciate strong typing, and I’ve found Svelte’s TypeScript support to be quite robust.
hey there! i’m super curious about svelte 5 too. have you tried building any complex apps with it yet? i’m wondering how it handles state management for larger projects. also, how does the performance compare to your backend code? it’d be awesome to hear more about your experience!
