I've been deceiving you all. I had you believe that Svelte was a UI framework — unlike React and Vue etc, because it shifts work out of the client and into the compiler, but a framework nonetheless.

But that's not exactly accurate. In my defense, I didn't realise it myself until very recently. But with Svelte 3 around the corner, it's time to come clean about what Svelte really is.

Svelte is a language.

Specifically, Svelte is an attempt to answer a question that many people have asked, and a few have answered: what would it look like if we had a language for describing reactive user interfaces?

A few projects that have answered this question:

	'use client'

	import * as React from 'react'
	import { EyeIcon, EyeOffIcon } from 'lucide-react'

	import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
	import { Input, type InputProps } from '@/components/ui/input'
	import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'

	const PasswordInput = React.forwardRef<HTMLInputElement, InputProps>(({ className, ...props }, ref) => {

	/**
	/DOBPicker.tsx
	**/

	'use client';

	import * as React from 'react';
	import { format, subYears } from 'date-fns';
	import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
	import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';

	# Quick and easy one line command to setup a global .gitignore file and ignore macOS .DS_store files globally
	git config --global core.excludesfile "~/.gitignore" && echo .DS_Store >> ~/.gitignore
