Show HN: _hyperscript 0.9.90 (hyperscript.org)
3 points by recursivedoubts 21 days ago | hide | past | favorite
hey HN, I've just released the latest version of my scripting language for the web, hyperscript. It is a love letter to hypercard/hypertalk that I've been working on on and off for the last five years.

This release has some major new features, mainly by other people: reactivity by Christian Tanul, a reworked templating system by my student Ben Logan, the morphing algorithm from htmx by Michael West. I added a component mechanism that basically just glues those three things together as well.

This language is a labor of love and I don't expect many people to like it or use it, but I hope you find it interesting and that some of the ideas in it (e.g. async transparency[1]) show what scripting the web could be like.

If you want a quick taste of what the new reactive/templating/morphing combo can look like there is a TODO app here:
