I actually tried out Vue after I had a production app made using svelte 3 and was amazed how verbose Vue is in comparison. Not to mention Svelte's smaller bundle sizes due to absent run-time library.
The fact render functions are made on build time does not mean Svelte has no runtime. Svelte has nice things going for it but you guys are just writing bullshit in order to criticize Vue.
Not close to fully runtime-less sure, but about as close as you can get. It's the same way C isn't runtime-less compared to assembly because it has crt.0 but compared to Java it effectively is.

Have you looked at transpiled Svelte code? It's 5-10x bigger than the source code because an entire runtime library is injected and your code is rewritten to use that library at compile time.
