SvelteKit - At the edge of Tomorrow

The day is finally nigh, at 99% with 5 issues open, the excitement for SvelteKit v1 keeps building.

I have been a big fan of SvelteKit (SK), having adopted Svelte on several projects as referred in this article; SK being the full-fledged framework for Svelte and being the successor to Sapper, it's exciting news that we are at the cusp of v1.

Having implemented my app from Sapper to SvelteKit in beta, I eagerly await v1 and related documentation to launch and stabilize to finally port the app to a ready-to-production version of SK

But why the excitement despite a smaller ecosystem for new frameworks?
For those unaware and with queries on the size of the Svelte/SK ecosystem it's important to highlight the ease of interoperability between Svelte and base Javascript(JS). In most instances JS components don't need to be wrapped to Svelte, therefore will work outside the box in a plug-n-play fashion. This in essence means that Svelte's ecosystem is as big as the JS ecosystem!
finally
As this writer implored us in their reddit article, Don't give up on SvelteKit please!. For now we wait with baited breath, hopefully v1 will be launched before end of 2022..
