I also always reach for Svelte + SvelteKit (Using Kit for simple apps can be overkill, but it's nice to have when things get complex unexpectedly).

> But nowadays I often see people start learning web development by learning React, which feels a bit backwards.

I think Svelte prevents this nicely by treating HTML as the mother language. If someone started web dev with Svelte(Kit), they would probably learn more about the fundamentals than they would with React.

Yes, and in most cases it's perfectly valid not to interfere with scrolling. The nice thing about CSS scroll snapping is of course that the browser still handles it (instead of it being taken over by JS).

I was amazed when I first came across CSS scroll snapping. It's great for creating immersive experiences where one part of the page fills the entire screen while native browser scrolling still works.

Cool! I've used Google's R package in the past. AI could make it easier to bring other R stats packages into the broader ecosystem.
