Functional approach with plain objects and pure functions

One thing I like about the Hyperapp approach though is use of plain JavaScript objects and pure functions to build your app. This means that it's possible to only have a…

Objections
Using JSX-like syntax in the example looked invalid to some readers
From 2 comments

cygned on HNI like this approach a lot, especially as implemented in [1]. Perhaps a tutorial, or some examples can be documented in that style. Hyperapp + hyperscript-helpers[2] is my…

What is keyed DOM updates
From 1 comment
What is keyed DOM updates? Is that the equivalent of React's `key` property? https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/lists-and-keys.html#keys
