But yea that's indeed what I should have done in my example if I wanted the component to be reactive, as you can see that's even more verbose and still doesn't take care of props.
And, isn't it likely this will be easier to support with Svelte eventually? My reasoning is that you just need to add a little syntactic sugar to the language and the compiler can add whatever code is necessary? With a runtime like React and Vue, it seems much harder to add in.
It's think it's likely the two issues I highlighted will eventually have syntactic sugar, I never wrote a transpiler but it doesn't seem that hard to support. It doesn't appear to be a priority though.

As a rule of thumb, it's almost always easier to add things at runtime than at compile time. That's why it took us so long to get Rust.
