Indeed, i have no intention of marginalizing the excellent engineering that Leo has put into Mithril, it is a solid lib and if it "clicks" for you then by all means use it.

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.
