I didn’t pose hyperapp as a better framework, just pointed out that there are not really any new concepts in AppRun, in fact the initial versions of React, Preact, and hyperapp, apprun , Mithril etc are all very similar in spirit. So it’s like pointing to Backbone as an “alternative” to a modern framework - not wrong, but it’s missing the point. What I really wanted to say is that if you take more than 5 minutes to evaluate one of these, you might have a much better idea of it’s capabilities and maybe even learn something new. It’s clear you’re excited about the subject and that’s great, but very little of what you said is true - for example, one of hyperapp’s main value propositions is the built-in centralized state management, so yes you’ll have to “wing” local state because that’s shoehorning a foreign concept into it. You are looking for something that fits your existing mental models, and not really judging their goals and strengths.
