He's been working on this for years - I've been following the development closely, because it's actually an interesting project, for two reasons:
It reimplements the React API, but with functional components first and only - if that's all you need or want, trying this could be interesting.
It uses a proper render scheduler - meaning, it does not block CSS animations etc. while rendering large chunks of content.
It's not really a "new library" in that sense - it's more in the category with Preact, an alternative React runtime. But it is substantially and fundamentally different from Preact, which could make it an interesting alternative for people building highly interactive applications where responsiveness is key - or perhaps just those who favor functional components and hooks, and want a smaller and faster runtime for some reason.
It might not be for you, personally - but this is not some random little "library of the hour", and it has substantially different qualities and goals from other alternative React runtimes.

You should not dismiss it so easily.
thank you! with my ♥
