I love Mithril. I would encourage every React/Vue developer to try it for a small project. Not to convince them to switch (I use all 3), but because I think using tools designed by smart people with a minimal mindset is valuable. Also I really like the hyperscript approach. It just fits my brain.

Last I checked, Mithril hyperscript couldn't handle SVG, which is a non-starter for dataviz work. Anyone know if that's still the case?

Yeah, hyperscript really doesn't get the attention it deserves.

SVG works fine with Mithril now, and has for a while. Here's a quick sample: https://flems.io/#0=N4IgZglgNgpgziAXAbVAOwIYFsZJAOgAsAXLKEAG...

That's great to hear. I'm almost wondering if I'm getting my history mixed up. Maybe it did work when I tried it (~ a year ago) but I just stumbled on old information and gave up.

Or maybe I'm thinking of a different hyperscript implementation.
