Nice find Mikhail. Sapper is their NodeJS framework right? We should probably put up a separate portal and thread for it :smiley:

Personally I am aiming to use Svelte with Phoenix :slight_smile:

Yes, Sapper is Node js “app lvl” framework from Svelte’s creator. There is also an Elder.js (a static site generator, but can be also used as Sapper) https://elderguide.com/tech/elderjs/ Btw how easy is to jump into Phoenix(and Elixir) as a JS dev?

I would think anything is easier/nicer than JS? :laughing:

Seriously tho, I think you will be fine. We see quite a few people come to Elixir and Phoenix from JS, in fact only yesterday the founder of http://www.scorebreak.io mentioned they moved over from Node :slight_smile:

Yeah, JS is specific :sweat_smile:… although it has become much nicer to use in recent years :wink: how much Erlang does one need to know to be productive for Phoenix?

Not much to begin with :smiley:

When you start using Erlang libraries you will learn more of it - but the Erlang syntax is fairly easy to pick up (it’s just ‘different’ really).

Give it a go and see how you get on? Start a #community:journals and post your progress too! :nerd:

Just watched Svelte Summit, forget what I said about Sapper, it is now officially “dead” and will be replaced by another Svelte framework. We can assume that it will be the same Sapper, only better.

Starts here I think Mikhail: https://youtu.be/vHHLLJA0b70?t=24062

I’m not too sure what Sapper and this new framework is - a framework to make Svelte more like a frontend framework like Ember and Angular (so includes everything like a router, project structure etc) or a back end framework like Django or Rails tuned to work with Svelte? If the latter I would prefer they focus on Svelte itself tbh…

I think Rich is going in to right direction.

I see that Svelte will be more like Vue, that is, there will be an “official” way to create an app that will include router, SSR, etc, as well as a separate Svelte module as just a UI framework.

Therefore, if you want to use Svelte + Phoenix, then probably it will not differ in any way from what is already there.
