_hyperscript: An experimental, async-friendly web scripting langauge

hyperscript.org

Oof, consider renaming the project. Hyperscript is the name of an existing project[0] whose namesake is used to identify a specific JSX-compatible API pattern that is used extensively by several projects, some of which are fairly high profile (e.g. preact)

yep, but the scripting language is based on hypertalk, hyperscript.org was available (!!!) and there are other projects called hyperscript too: http://hyperscript.com/

so... I'm stickin' with it.

Well ultimately that's up to you. Just saying that it might cause some grief in terms of SEO, googling/stack overflow, accidentally downloading the wrong thing, etc. Also, it's not really great etiquette to reappropriate names of things that see widespread usage in close domains (both are related to expressing behavior on top of DOM), but I guess you don't really care about that since you've already paid money for the domain name </shrug>
