I'm a fan of this sort of back-to-the-basics thing. I wrote a library that does something similar (our syntaxes seem very similar, I do like yours rather a lot!). I still use this library in production code, and get a great lot of mileage out of it! :p ;) xx
Yes, rediscovering the basics is fun and making use of the native functionality that is always there but we never touch it with modern frameworks like React feels natural.
Exactly, man! That's exactly what I think. I thought it was just an aesthetic sense I had, but it seems more and more people are into this...similar thing anyway. Awesome! :p ;) xx
