We use Svelte 4.0 in production and it performs beautifully; it rarely is the cause of our frustrations. Excited to try the new version.

Lately I’ve also been wondering about the relationship and correlation between software writing skills and writing skills.

Besides a mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of one's native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent programmer.

If your native tongue isn't English, I don't think that's necessarily true any more.

Expression, comprehension, and mastery of the form are still independent of English, it was never about direct utility or anything.
