How is the JavaScript library "React" pronounced?
React is pronounced exactly like the everyday English verb "react" /riˈækt/ — two syllables, "ree-ACT", stress on the second syllable, ending in the open /æ/ vowel plus a hard "t". So "a React component" is "a ree-ACT component", and "React hooks" is "ree-ACT hooks". Do not stress the first syllable ("REE-act") or clip it to "rect". The name plays on the library's reactive UI updates, so the connection to the verb "react" is intentional and the pronunciation is identical.

How is the framework "Vue" pronounced?
Vue is pronounced exactly like the English word "view" /vjuː/ — one syllable. The creator, Evan You, chose the name as a play on "view" (the V in MVC). So "a Vue app" is "a view app", and "Vue components" is "view components". Do not read it as the French "voo" or spell it out letter by letter. Just say "view". This is a common interview-day pronunciation worry that has a simple answer: Vue = "view".

How is "Angular" pronounced?
Angular is pronounced like the ordinary English adjective "angular" /ˈæŋɡjʊlə/ — stress on the first syllable, "ANG-gyu-lar". It contains the "ng" /ŋ/ sound plus a "g", as in "anger". So "an Angular project" is "an ANG-gyu-lar project". Do not stress the middle ("an-GOO-lar") or drop the "gyu" glide. The name relates to the angle brackets < > of HTML templates. First-syllable stress is the key point.

How is the compiler-framework "Svelte" pronounced?
Svelte is pronounced as the single-syllable English word "svelte" /svɛlt/ — meaning "slim, elegant". It rhymes with "felt" and "melt", with the consonant cluster "sv" at the start and a silent final "e". So "a Svelte app" is "a svelt app", and "SvelteKit" is "svelt-kit". Do not add an extra syllable ("sve-LET-eh") or turn the "sv" into "sw". The name reflects the framework's lean, minimal output. Just say "svelt".

How are "Astro" and "Deno" pronounced?
Astro is pronounced "AS-troh" /ˈæstroʊ/, first-syllable stress, like the prefix in "astronaut". Deno is pronounced "DEE-noh" /ˈdiːnoʊ/, first-syllable stress, with a long "ee" — it is an anagram of "node" (the runtime's creator, Ryan Dahl, also made Node.js). So "an Astro site" is "an AS-troh site", and "the Deno runtime" is "the DEE-noh runtime". Both names are stressed on the first syllable; avoid "as-TROH" or "den-OH". Note Deno is "DEE-noh", not "DEN-oh".
