Hi leeoniya. domvm is a an interesting project that I've been keeping my eyes on. I'm thinking of adapting some of your ideas for the rewrite of Mithril that I'm working on, particularly APIs related to re-rendering control. Stay tuned :)
I would be delighted if my projects had a positive effect on a Mithril rewrite. I originally wanted to improve Mithril but alas it was not architecturally possible without large BC breakage and alienating the existing userbase.
Actually, as a proof of concept I wrote an adapter for domvm that allows Mithril's link rotator demo to work unmodified: https://github.com/leeoniya/domvm/tree/master/demos/mithril-...
In the end everything in software is an iteration of something else.
You're the kind of programmer I aspire to be like and be surrounded with.
