Just curious and who knows, maybe someone will adopt it or develop something new based on its ideas.

choojs

All of the upside and none of the downside of react

No JSX and no compiler, all native js

The main dev is paid by microsoft to do oss rust nowadays

I use choo for my personal projects and have used it twice professionally

The example is like 25 lines and introduces all the concepts

Less moving parts than svelte

You can get the same thing with lit-html and any of the add on libraries that flesh it out.

For example, Haunted is a react hooks implementation for lit: https://github.com/matthewp/haunted

Choo suffered from not having an ecosystem, same with mithtil and other "like react but not" also-rans.

Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
