It is great to see Mithril again on front page of HN, it is one of the most simplest and easiest modern JS frameworks. I only know flarum [0] as a project which has used Mithril mixed with jQuery [1] and personally, I am quite amazed how snappy it is.

It's probably part of the choosen language and framework, and certainly helps sales that it's not so easy to get it running. It's certainly not as simple to get started as with Nodejs npm or LAMP stack. But there are already easy to install discourse forum clones that use Node.js or PHP as backend language (use Google to find them). Edit: two of several clones that run on Node or LAMP stack (I am not related to any of them) Nodejs: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB PHP: https://github.com/flarum/core

Looks like it uses some Illuminate (Laravel) components: https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/master/composer.json

Mind reporting an issue for this? (https://github.com/flarum/core/issues) I can't test directly because I'm using a Mac, but it would be great if we can continue investigating on GitHub :)

It doesn't at the moment! D: That's something we plan to address very soon though. Not sure what specific strategies we'll implement – will sit down and nut it out in the next week or two. https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/271
