I think that's hard to ascertain because it's a drop-in replacement for react. I assume you mean hyperapp instead of hyperlink.

It gets around a half-million downloads per week according to NPM stats while hyperapp gets under 3k per week.

Yes. Or hyperscript as my parent posted. I'd love to see an example of preact with it.

But looking at the repo https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript I have a hard time imagining how preact can work together. They seem to overlap in functionality.

You can either use their native `h` (basically createElement in React)

or you can use the full hyperscript markup library
