Possible shortcuts for $state/$derived

[KieranP]

I just came across Ripple. While I'm not a fan of the JSX style syntax (one of the reasons I moved away from React), at first glance, I do like the more concise reactive variable declarations:

let $count = 0;
let $double = $count * 2;

How feasible would it be for Svelte to support two syntaxes, the current $state/$derived and a way similar to Ripple as above? Alternatively, supporting short aliases ($ = $state, $$ = $derived):

let count = $(0);
let double = $$(count * 2);

The team stated against this several times IIRC for reasons like coherency, compatibility and maybe more, you should be able to find the related issues if interested.
