It sounds easy but not simple to me to refactor on the TodoMVC code.

Instead of a JS-centric approach, how about an even simpler, HTML-centric approach with Apline.js? :)

This may be a good idea but the schtick is tiresome

I like it! I’d argue TypeScript over JS as adoption gets broader (and/or toolchains simpler)

This seems massively less "dumb" and "debuggable" than say, templated HTML that's rendered on the server (erb, blade, whatever).

I get that it's trying to be "dumb components" but maybe that's an invalid starting point?

This HTML-but-not-really kind of approach makes everything more complicated, not simpler.

The ever immature concept of using something edgie as a name, that will likely result in you having to change it, or never getting broad adoption.
