A Medium publication of front-end web development articles about JavaScript, React, Redux, TypeScript, and related tools.
HN commenters bring it up in discussions of JavaScript fatigue, React criticism, and the audience that Medium offers writers.
I've also bought into JSX. I use JSX in all my Mithril projects.
Advantages over React: Routing built in. Smaller/faster. You don't get numb to the word "dangerously" being used routinely for data that you trust.
Debatable: Mithril does not wrap native browser events. This is an advantage because what you learn about events applies outside the framework. It may also be a disadvantage; debatable.
Disadvantage: React is a more attractive keyword on your resume and in job listings.

This is precisely why I created a medium account-- because there is already an audience that is reading, liking, and commenting on articles. I tested this theory by cross posting articles to both my domain[0] and to Medium[1]. The Medium article has thousands of views in a month and my domain gets maybe 20 views a month. This is partly because "publishers" pick up articles on Medium which shows it to a new audience.

my recollection is that it decompresses fine/performantly, let me see if I can dig up an article.
