	<div class="description" slot="what">
		<p>Svelte is a radical new approach to building user interfaces. Whereas traditional frameworks like React and Vue do the bulk of their work in the <em>browser</em>, Svelte shifts that work into a <em>compile step</em> that happens when you build your app.</p>

		<p>Instead of using techniques like virtual DOM diffing, Svelte writes code that surgically updates the DOM when the state of your app changes.</p>
