I don't know why the sibling reply comment to this by golemiprague was killed.

My understanding is that he is correct - in terms of requiring a framework to be bundled with your code. Svelte is not a framework that needs to be bundled with your code, instead it injects helper code during the transpilation step and the result has no dependencies.

If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the trigger happy person to explain why rather than killing this comment.

While they use a JS framework it doesn't mean the framework is used also in run time, in pre compiled frameworks like svelte the generated components are just vanilla JS and can be used later in any webpage.
