I enjoyed your article very much. I'm a huge fan and proponent of this framework. Since I come across Mithril I have used it exclusively on all internal projects at our agency and haven't looked back.

Adopting Mithril also opened me up to a whole list of lesser known but vigorously thought through projects like BSS, Patchinko and the beautiful Meiosis pattern which changed the way I went about developing resulting in far better productivity.

Thank you very much! I really wanted to see more writing on the internet around Mithril -- it seems it's like lisp in the way that most people who are using it productively are just doing heads down working on stuff.

I'd love to see some writing on some of the patterns you've developed with it! Also, it might be cool for mithril to have a "trusted by" section on their main page to showcase some companies that use mithril to increase trust for people who wander in (though I'm also OK with mithril not having this section -- it's a bit overly-prodcuty and distracting).

Thanks a ton for the references, looking up all those things right now, looks like more pieces of the Mithril ecosystem that I've never heard of. Patchinko looks super useful (I'm surprised I've never needed something like this in the past...), and Meiosis looks like a simpler version of the reactive/flux pattern, and looks interesting to me since it's cross-framework!

So most of these projects are all maintained by members of the Mithril team or heavy contributors of Mithril, so you can trust they are created with care and have been thoroughly thought through.

You should definitely join the Gitter chat for Mithril. It's a very active channel and a little lesser known part of the internet where you will get a constant flow of engaged developers of all levels discussing Mithril and also where some of the core team discuss concepts, roadmaps, ideas and drop knowledge.
