Wow, must mean the project is real important. I agree that svelte is interesting, but focusing on metrics and popularity is the wrong approach to new technology.
You can't judge a technology by its popularity. But I was judging the ecosystem by its popularity and those things are very highly correlated. More people bookmarking a project mean in theory it should have better 3rd party library support.
You're judging the ecosystem based on the stars/trendiness of Sveltes repository? That feels even more wrong and you're doing a lot of extrapolation here.
