This is a great article! Been thinking of writing one myself for a while now. I have a project (https://github.com/johnBartos/RadioFreeTwitch https://github.com/johnBartos/RadioFreeTwitch) which siphons Twitch's HLS streams and extracts the audio-only portion from its manifest file. Up until recently, it's been near impossible to get a reliable, easy to use solution for non-flash HLS. So I shelved the project until the technology matured. Just last night I decided to take a crack at a flashless solution and was blown away by how easy it was - I use Flowplayer, and hlshjs (https://github.com/flowplayer/flowplayer-hlsjs https://github.com/flowplayer/flowplayer-hlsjs) was just plug-and-play for me.
