Ok you’ve convinced me to give them a closer look! 😊 I had another look at Discord and it’s come a long way since I first checked it out (or what I remember of it anyway) - it’s pretty slick!! They don’t have huge team either IIRC. Do you recommend any of the frameworks in particular and could you recommend some learning resources please? I think I’m leaning towards giving Svelte a go - there’s [some decent interest here](https://forum.devtalk.com/t/svelte-what-do-you-think-about-it/808) on the forum and I like that it’s essentially a variant language that compiles to JS, which, from what I’ve seen anyway, makes for a more interesting/pleasant developer experience. I sometimes think that in the JS world newer can potentially be better because there’s so much in JS that needs fixing 😆 _Thanks for your input in this thread 👍_ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.devtalk.com/t/are-spas-dying-or-becoming-more-popular-beginning-to-shine/2913)._
