I've been using Svelte happily for years, but I won't be using SvelteKit. In part because of the routing but also because it doesn't really solve much in the backend.
It's amazing that all the full stack frameworks (Next, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix, Astro, etc) are investing so much effort into reinvent the backend and after years they still don't provide even basic backend functionality. For example, out of the box, Fastify gives you validation, sessions, CORS, cache headers, etc. Features that you need in probably all backend projects.
I started this repo to figure out how to integrate Svelte with Fastify using Vite. It has hot reload, partial hydration, etc. It's very quick and dirty code, but it works.
