There seem to be so many of these. I really wonder who is the audience for these. Who needs a framework, is incredibly sensitive to bundle size, and doesn't mind using a bespoke framework with no ecosystem?

I'm just amazed that saving 100kb or whatever could outweigh the other factors.

I re-evaluate most of them once in a while and there's a lot of looking alive but basically dead and bug-ridden ones. And some bugs are so trivial that it shows that no one uses them seriously.

Mithril is absolutely stable and mature compared to these other hyperscript-ish libs.

Who

Me. I want full control over my data and not outsource it to a lib that will dictate the shape of it. Mithril only does rendering cycles while being completely data-agnostic. It's basically react without its "functional" abracadabra.

That's a great explanation, thanks.
