Mithril.js was originally written by Leo Horie, but it is where it is today thanks to the hard work and great ideas of many people.

Special thanks to:

• Pat Cavit, who exposed most of the public API for Mithril.js 1.0, brought in test coverage and automated the publishing process
• Claudia Meadows, who brought in linting, modernized the test suite and has been a strong voice in design discussions
• Zoli Kahan, who replaced the original Promise implementation with one that actually worked properly
• Alec Embke, who single-handedly wrote the JSON-P implementation
• Barney Carroll, who suggested many great ideas and relentlessly pushed Mithril.js to the limit to uncover design issues prior to Mithril.js 1.0
• Dominic Gannaway, who offered insanely meticulous technical insight into rendering performance
• Boris Letocha, whose search space reduction algorithm is the basis for Mithril.js' virtual DOM engine
• Joel Richard, whose monomorphic virtual DOM structure is the basis for Mithril.js' vnode implementation
• Simon Friis Vindum, whose open source work was an inspiration to many design decisions for Mithril.js 1.0
• Boris Kaul, for his awesome work on the benchmarking tools used to develop Mithril.js
• Leon Sorokin, for writing a DOM instrumentation tool that helped improve performance in Mithril.js 1.0
• Jordan Walke, whose work on React was prior art to the implementation of keys in Mithril.js
• Pierre-Yves Gérardy, who consistently makes high quality contributions
• Gyandeep Singh, who contributed significant IE performance improvements
