> React is a competing frontend framework (which is now moving to adopt a Svelte-like compiled approach)

React has been moving in the direction of a compiled approach for over seven years now[1], predating Svelte’s first release. The introduction of hooks in 2018 grew out of early efforts on an optimizing compiler. Those earlier efforts were hampered by class semantics making things like constant folding across components difficult. React Forget seems like a predictable progression from there.
