IDK maybe I'm using it wrong. Maybe those simple use cases in components are all Runes are meant for, and I *should* just keep using stores for shared state.
Anyway, glad we still have the option to do it however we like. I'm sure I'll dip into some of this syntax in components, but I think a lot of it will be situational. Which, maybe is the point.

Creating stores with `$state` seems way, way harder to me than just reaching for the old `writable`.

Ran into a case where `$effect`, which is supposed to be a replacement for `onMount`, caused an infinite loop, where `onMount` did not. I couldn't figure out why, except that I guess I was mutating state, which...ok, am I just _supposed_ to reach for `onMount` in that case? It seems unclear why `$effect` exists, to me, if it's not supposed to be a replacement.

Started playing with Svelte 5 runes tonight, and I'm sad to say I'm kinda disappointed.
I think the syntax is really nice for basic component state and props. But everywhere else—*especially* as a replacement for writable/derived stores, and `onMount`—it's been way more complex, with no clear benefit. Not being able to export `$derived` feels extra un-Svelte like. That kind of arbitrary gotcha feels very React.
Oh well. At least we can still keep doing things the old way if we want to.

What I'm listening to today: "Nina Simone - Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair"
This is a version of a very old folk song — old enough that its origins are obscure, though it definitely came from Europe, and some believe originated in Scotland. Its modern popularity stems from a version recorded in the 1940s.
Nina's take on this song is sublime, stripping it down to some minimal piano accompaniment (which she plays), and her voice. This works beautifully, because she was an *incredible* vocalist, and her singing washes up and over and carries you clean away. She made this song hers.
She recorded multiple versions over the years; this is the first, from 1959, off her At Town Hall album. This concert, and this recording of it, are the inflection point at which her career took off and she rose to decades of recognition and fame. It was the third album she released in 1959. She was 26 years old.

People on here do this thing— and I don't mean to be mean, just an observation— when you speak on practical effects of tech, they'll delve into technical if they don't like the point made.
And the more they disagree, the deeper they go into the excruciating minutia of definitions and scope. It's almost as if they're attempting to win a debate through hypnosis.
Besides being condescending, it's an unusually cruel punishment to make someone read all that.
Other than that, loving it
