Mithril[0] has had those three points since the beginning.

Updates to their documentation will soon reference Parcel instead of Webpack, but neither are required. Just include the file in your html and the reactivity (and routing!) are included.

The reason I like it is because you have to understand the core concepts. But once you do, you can easily build on them to get what you need. And it remains fast even if you don’t do things perfectly idiomatically. If that makes sense... So it’s probably best for small teams that want to be very fast and effective.

Mithril is awesome! I really like it, it's one of the only micro frameworks that I feel is really underrated right now (I also took a look at rivets, and few others). I've actually really been feeling mithril! I avoided mentioning it to seem like I was trying to funnel people to another framework.

I like mithril because it's even simpler, and it has a few more concepts built in that are almost always necessary (ajax, etc), and the reactivity system is almost ridiculously simple -- if you don't fire an event stuff won't happen.

I think what mithril lacks is the adoption, or even better some sort of centralized repository of components that people who are fans of mithril can use. That, and an integration with Nativescript, so it can get "mithril-native" for free...
