To be fair I don't think we're going to see a resurgence of that collection of projects. hyperhype hasn't seen updates since 2019 and was not that big to begin with.
Hyperscript here makes a lot of sense as it's the companion project to http://htmx.org
If you care about dates, don’t look at NPM, the latest version was published six years ago. Some software is just kinda finished and doesn’t need updates.
It still has a huge ecosystem of consumer libs, some updated recently, and 55k downloads a month - about 20x more than “_hyperscript”.
Since _hyperscript is not that big, am I entitled to naming my next project “_hyperscript_” next week? This is not how this is supposed to work.
The name "hyperscript" is still used commonly among libraries to refer to the syntax originated by dominictarr's project, e.g., `h(tag, props, ...children)`.
Hyperscript isn’t in need of a resurgence, it’s the default transform for JSX. That’s React and Preact, and most other JSX libraries/frameworks (including, I’ve heard, Solid despite its preferred JSX transform). It’s also commonly in usage in equivalent ClojureScript syntax. If one were defining a pure-JS DSL for a DOM-like structure, I think you’d be hard pressed to find something more suitable.
