I credit mithril and it’s fantastic community of knowledgeable devs with really changing my learning style at the outset of my dev career. Essentially from learning by reading, and becoming overwhelmed (as is often reported in the js world), to learning by doing and using technology. I’m sure this happens to many other people through different routes but I personally experienced it through this community. Seeing people so actively discuss things with new users and the amount of other general interesting discussion that happens in the mithril Gitter channel makes it one of my favourite places on the web. There is a strong desire for simplicity and a strong anti bloat sentiment from the devs over there. I like it a lot. I’m referring to you, Pygy, Leo, tivac, barney, porsager, jaforbes and foxdonut. I have built and deployed a few mithril apps in production early in my career and I’m glad I had the chance. I wonder now how new js devs starting with frameworks like vue can learn to work with the language rather than than the framework when every part of it is wrapped up in a reactivity system. I would worry that a lot of vue devs would come to mithril and not understand why the string literals they are passing down to components are not being set in the parent.

Anyway that’s enough. Cheers to mithril and it’s great devs, if you like mithril check out bss and Wright from porsager and meiosis from Foxdonut.

Second this. Mithril.js is absolutely incredible, and my coworkers are often surprised at how quickly I can dive into a React project and fix an issue because I don't carry the baggage of doing things "the react way".

Every now and then I use software tools where rather than complaining about how x or y should be different, everything seems to be the best possible version of something I'd have come up with myself, and I have zero complaints. Mithril.js is one of those tools.

You're not "in a Mithril project", you're basically just using javascript but the VDOM is expertly and minimally handled by some key functions.

Participating in the project via Gitter was very welcoming as well. Long live Mithril!

Would they not want your solution to conform to existing solutions; which (regardless of being idiomatic to React) would be idiomatic to the codebase?
