> # hyperscript is an easy and approachable language designed for modern front-end web development

> hyperscript makes writing event handlers and highly responsive user interfaces trivial with native language support for async behavior—easier than callbacks, promises, even async/await.
> 
> **Events as first class citizens in the language** —clean syntax for [receiving](https://hyperscript.org/features/on) and [sending](https://hyperscript.org/commands/send) events, as well as [event-driven control flow](https://hyperscript.org/docs/#event-control-flow)
> 
> **DOM-oriented syntax** —seamless integrated [CSS id, CSS class and CSS query literals](https://hyperscript.org/expressions/#css)
> 
> **First-class [web workers](https://hyperscript.org/docs#workers)**
> 
> **[Async-transparent](https://hyperscript.org/docs#async) runtime**—highly responsive user experiences without callback hell
> 
> **[Pluggable & extendable](https://hyperscript.org/docs/#extending)** parser & grammar
> 
> **[Debugger](https://hyperscript.org/docs#debugging)** to step through hyperscript code
> 
> **Inspired by [HyperTalk](https://hypercard.org/HyperTalk%20Reference%202.4.pdf)** (not AppleScript)
