This looks really interesting, and I'd certainly consider trying it out for a personal project.

If I may ask a question about syntax... Mint `render` returns look so very close to JSX syntax, but slightly different. It appears bare text variables are annotated `<{ varName }>` rather than `{ varName }`, and the `<Component::style ...>` syntax is unfamiliar. What is the motivation for providing a syntax so close to JSX but slightly different?

For this particular syntax, the motivation here was to make it look like more of a tag than an interpolation.

Heads-up: I submitted it as a separate post and it appears to be making the front page now. You might want to get in there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22246615

Wow that's cool, components as first class citizens. The native control flow structures are also pretty innovative!
