Hyperscript for Sublime Text

Provides syntax highlighting for the Hyperscript (_hyperscript) language, both embedded in HTML and in a standalone file.

Hyperscript is the companion project of HTMX. A recommended alternative to Stimulus, Alpine.js, jQuery.

What is Hyperscript?

• Event-oriented language.
• Locality of Behaviour instead of verbose javascript modules.
• Async transparency.
• No long event chains / christmas trees.
• Null safe.
• Self-documenting natural syntax inspired by Hypertalk and AppleScript.
• Saves a ton of code in components.
