Guiding Principles

Similarly to fashion, code style reflects our credo as developers, our values and philosophy.

But I believe the core philosophy of tiny modules is actually sound and easier to maintain than giant frameworks.

Besides running contrary to the principles that lead a lot of people to Linux systems (a closed store that you can't alter...automatic updates you have no control over....run by just the one company)

Svelte's stances

For my point of view, and I've been annoyingly consistent in this for as long as people have been asking for this feature or something like it, style encapsulation is one of the core principles of Svelte's component model and this feature fundamentally breaks that. It would be too easy for people to use this feature and it would definitely get abused removing the style safety that Svelte previously provided.
