Thanks for the shout out, @fubits.dev! That was a fun one. I definitely made @kevinak.se nervous with how late I submitted it, though 😅.

Agree they're hard to get right. Rich + Svelte core team clearly agree as well. The remote functions API & architecture are designed with security footgun-avoidance in mind: explicit file boundaries + existing server-only module protection. Humility → simplicity. Hard ≠ impossible.

Ken Kunz @kenthropic.com · 18/12/2025

🤔 different strokes – hope you find the solution that's right for you!

> Yes, I've been using Svelte since v3 was released in 2019. Respect – you've got me beat by 2 years! 🙇‍♂️ The #JustUseSvelteAlready was aimed at the broader audience vs. you specifically.

Ken Kunz @kenthropic.com · 18/12/2025

Query and Table seem most relevant for Svelte. Router/Start less so given SvelteKit's capabilities – especially with latest enhancements and direction (remote functions). Curious if there's a reason you'd prefer Router/Start over SvelteKit?

3/3 Glad you're enjoying Runed FSM! I didn't work on this version directly, but provided some inspiration with my svelte-fsm library (Svelte 3/4 store-based API). You have @gazit.me to thank for Runed FSM implementation 😄.

030

Ken Kunz @kenthropic.com · 09/11/2025

2/3 If you need the FSM (and shared context) to be available from more than one component, extract it to a svelte.ts module and export the FSM and shared state from there. For example: github.com/kenkunz/svel...

github.com

140

Ken Kunz @kenthropic.com · 09/11/2025

1/3 I've generally found that context doesn't need to be built into the FSM API itself. Your "surrounding context" (enclosing lexical scope) is your context – the FSM has access to whatever is defined there.

Runed FSM (like its predecessor svelte-fsm) does not support parent/child states. I've considered adding this, but (a) haven't had bandwidth, and (b) have been hesitant without seeing more use case examples (w/in a Svelte app context). Can you share more about your use case?

3/ SEO: While invalid markup isn't likely to directly affect SEO, it can be impacted due to #2.

120

Ken Kunz @kenthropic.com · 05/11/2025

2/ Rendering bugs: Invalid markup can cause browsers to restructure the DOM unexpectedly, leading to layout inconsistencies, forced reflows, and layout thrashing. I've personally had to debug this with anchors nested inside anchors.

1/ Accessibility: Screen readers and assistive tech rely on proper semantic structure.

Option 7: "ROT13 Types" All type annotations must be written in ROT13 (`shapgvba nqq(k: ahzore, l: ahzore): ahzore`).

010

Ken Kunz @kenthropic.com · 03/11/2025

Option 6: "Irascible Types Only" Type annotations that get progressively more hostile the longer you ignore type errors. ("Again with the `any`? Really?" … "This is why we `never` have nice things." … "Oh how your variable names suck. Let me `enum` the ways.").

010

Ken Kunz @kenthropic.com · 03/11/2025

Am I the only one who found the options to this question confusing? None of these is consistent with the TS39 "Type Annotations" (aka "Types as Comments") proposal. Erasable types should be _ignored_ (like comments) at runtime. Also… please take the survey! 🚀 #JavaScript #TypeScript #StateOfJS

Screenshot of State of JavaScript Survey question regarding types:

How would you like to see types implemented natively in JavaScript?
• Runtime types: Types that are parsed at runtime by the browser.
• Type annotations: Compiler-level TypeScript-like type annotations that get stripped during bundling.
• JSDoc-like types: JSDoc-like types written as code comments.
• I would not like to see them implemented
• Other…
