Why Astro and Svelte?

I believe in using the right tool for the job. Svelte is part of the next generation of web frameworks, and I wanted to try it as I was curious about hydration, and server-side and no-virtual-DOM rendering. Astro provides a lightning-quick Time To Interactive, and, even better, allows you to Frankenstein together applications using other frameworks, including React and Svelte.

Plus, it was fun to put together the majority of a site "old school".
