What's new in Svelte: April 2023 Loads of new Svelte compiler features, plus Svelte Summit and SvelteHack Dani Sandoval https://dreamindani.com

Happy April, everyone! This month, we're covering all the new features in the Svelte compiler, some quality-of-life improvements in SvelteKit and a huge showcase (like always).

In core team news, Dominic Gannaway has joined Vercel to work on Svelte full-time! Dominic is a world-class expert on wringing performance out of javascript engines, on the DOM, on reactivity, on accessibility, and more! You might know him as the creator of the Inferno UI framework or Lexical, Meta's WYSIWYG editor. It'll be great to see his talents at work across the Svelte ecosystem 🌱

Don't forget! Svelte Summit Spring, Svelte's 6th virtual conference, will be happening on May 6th. Also, there's just two weeks left until the end of SvelteHack... It's a great opportunity to share your creations with the community and maybe even earn a prize!

Now let's jump into this month's changes...
