I see your stance! There are two ways to this: JS-first (React) or HTML- first. Hyper takes the latter: purely focusing on the semantic HTML structure when assembling interfaces. Focusing on pure structure (like React 1.0) and delegating design and logic to concerns that master it the best.

You should take a look at markojs, it's also html-first but the syntax is IMHO more elegant as it extends html (especially the alpha of 6.0 syntax)
