> How does one go about doing non-string parameterized intents?

From yesterday, it's now possible to have stateful custom elements, as if they were Web Components: https://github.com/staltz/cycle/blob/fbae9c6610043ef6e46941a... This brings Cycle a bit closer to React, in that a "component" can handle its own events. The overall approach is still different than React, because in React you are encouraged to use components for anything, while custom elements exist in Cycle only when a pure component (i.e. a function returning a virtual DOM element, in React terms, props-only component) is not enough. Hence TodoMVC could be rewritten to use <todo> custom elements.

Using DOM attributes to register IDs is just one technique. Things are evolving fast, and I haven't myself tried to publish/share Cycle just yet, because it's not ready.

PS: I have a lot of respect for Mithril. Unfortunately not reactive as I would appreciate, but Mithril is very fast and very simple to understand.
