Hype for Hyperscript

In this episode, we have Carson from Big Sky Software & Deniz Akşimşek on to talk about Hyperscript, which they bill as what JavaScript would look like if it were designed for the web!

Guest host Ben Croker from PutYourLightsOut tells us why, yes, we really do need a scripting language built on top of JavaScript to make common, things easy to do.

And that’s what Hyperscripts aims to do: bring the joy of scripting back into web development, and solve the common problems we all face every day simply and elegantly.

As such Hyperscript is a natural complement to their other project, HTMX. Join us to hear an interesting discussion on how the right tooling (or lack thereof) is half the battle.
