Hey all!

Let’s chat about Svelte runes to be introduced in the upcoming Svelte 5 update. This is a fairly significant change to Svelte that can give more power and organized code but renders some familiar Svelte syntax useless. Here’s the announcement article for reference and a dev vlog with some of the team for further listening.

  • So far, do you like runes or do you hate them?
  • What are the pros and cons?
  • Do you have any experience with similar syntax in other frameworks or languages?

    I look forward to seeing this discussion - I haven’t had time to look into runes much, but I really like Svelte and I trust Harris & co’s design decisions so far - but I also trust them to listen to the community. I look forward to the vibe check.
