Since both Meteor 3.0 and Svelte 5 are now officially released, it would be great to have them working together. Svelte 5’s runes system and other improvements would make development much more efficient. Looking forward to seeing these two powerful tools integrated!
Meteor still doesn’t support Svelte 4 since we are waiting for Meteor to support the package.json export field. I was hoping to have time this fall to implement a minimal version that would at least support Svelte 4, but so far I haven’t. I don’t know if there is anything else we need to support svelte 5, besides updating zodern:melte.
Upgrades to Angular also don’t work because of this. Can this be prioritised? This looks like such a huge missing feature
Thank you for your reply. The discussion of this issue seems to indicate that we shouldn’t expect Meteor 3.x to support Svelte 5.x in the near future. So sad about this 
Thank you for your reply! I looked at the Meteor package you developed to enhance Svelte functionality - you’re truly at a godlike level! If even someone like you thinks there’s no clear path to make Svelte 5.x compatible with Meteor 3.x, I guess I’ll have to give up on that idea
I finished an implementation of the package.json exports field: Resolve package.json exports by zodern · Pull Request #13520 · meteor/meteor · GitHub
I was initially planning to just implement enough for svelte 5 to work, but after I started I realized that since this feature drastically changes how the resolver works, I would have to implement everything to avoid creating new problems.
Once there is a beta version of Meteor with this, we can start working on supporting svelte 4 and 5.
