Hyperscript (especially in combination with htmx) is as ridiculously useful as it is fun to use.
Biggest wins are the concise, natural-language-like syntax which is applied directly in context and is very readable and easy to understand, along with the way it turns callback hell into a “smooth like butter” experience which is so simple and intuitive that it feels like cheating.
I’ve been in the development game long enough to appreciate the value of easy-to-understand, maintainable code. Absolute bonus when it’s actually fun and productive to write as well!
