Is there a roadmap for mithril? As in, what are the current pain points, where development is headed, etc.

  I've given stewardship of the project to the community. At this point, it's largely in maintenance mode. Most changes are tightening up loose semantics and the like. IIRC the last major was only a major by technicalities; it didn't really break anyone unless they were relying in weird obscure behaviors. Since the framework isn't interested in chasing trends and since it provides extension points via lifecycle methods, there's really nothing novel that needs to come from the framework itself. I know some of the more popular frameworks make it seem that webdev is constantly in churn/evolving, but if you look at React for example, other than the hooks paradigm shift etc, it hasn't really changed all that much in scope over the years either (the same can be said about other libraries as well). For example, Mithril could easily be used w/ coffeescript when that was still a thing, and people use it with typescript these days too without much fuss since TS is also a project that decouples well. And this is with zero changes to the framework. You can integrate dragula or plupload or google maps or whatever via lifecycle methods as you always could too. So, TL;DR: I think the focus still remains on making it as stable and robust as possible

    Does mithril provides typescript function signatures for its API?
