And how you compose the two worlds together is a legit framework design choice.
I can't see why JS-in-HTML should be semantically or logically better than HTML-in-JS tbh.

All of Svelte is a superset of HTML, or just the templating part? I would say the latter? I am all for the template to be a superset of HTML (don't like JSX), but you need JS at least to glue things together. Most likely your app will host way more JS than HTML though.

Interesting to see that us coming from a similar/same background, we also stumble over the same issues! 😅
Nice write-up!

That wasn't my point though. Yes, you can define features like runes in tests, except for the most basic feature: components.
You can't invoke the component under test in the way you would normally do. Also can't define components locally in your test to pass to higher order components.

Not trying to hate on Svelte, I like it quite a bit!
But I do feel they got this template vs. JS thing backwards.

In Ember tests, you invoke the component just the same way as you do anywhere else. Because you can have inside JS. Example: guides.emberjs.com/release/comp...

Besides the snipped argument, you see the limitations of "js inside template" also for tests. You need to pass props to the render function, invoking the component in a totally different way than you would do in app code. Just because you cannot have template code inside JS.

I think modern Ember nailed it. Instead of .svelte being a template with an island of JS, Ember's .gjs is JS with an island of template. Or multiple.
is just a value, that you can direcly use when in scope (private internal components) or you export it.

First time learning about snippets I was thinking this must be a workaround due to some architectural flaw/restriction. Why do you need the concept of "snippet", if you already have one of "component"? Only because Svelte syntactically doesn't allow you to define components inside components, right?

No, the dimensions are fixed. More details at evanw.github.io/thumbhash/
BlurHash does allow that though: blurha.sh

Good question! Unpic does not have its own image processing capabilities, it requires an image CDN. ResponsiveImage supports that, too (tho not all CDNs yet), but also processing local images in your repo, with its vite and webpack plugins. That's the main differentiator I think.
