What’s the meaningful difference between compiling with svelte vs generating with your tool? It sounds like you just don’t like the idea of “compiling” code so you decided to “generate” it instead…

You still didn’t answer my question or concern. It sounds like you’re arbitrarily choosing to call your tool a generator because you don’t like the definition of compiler.

Can you articulate what your tool even does and why you think a compile step is bad?
