> Lots of smart people are simply abandoning front end development altogether. The Javascript community needs to face up to this fact First, I'm not sure who these people are that can afford to just not work because they had a bad experience with a Javascript framework or two. Second, I'm not sure the onus is on the community to take their (or anyone else but their own) feelings into account. I don't really see how Intercooler is any better than vanilla jQuery; you've just offloaded explicit promises and event assignment into custom HTML attributes that don't translate to any other framework. After doing some reading, it looks like you were frustrated with Angular's AJAX calls...did you try one with jQuery?

HTML-as-data-transport is the key to HATEOAS[1], which is what most distinguishes the web from other network application architectures[2]. Intercooler enables a fundamentally different network architecture than RPC-via-JSON, that of the original web network architecture as described and advocated for by Roy Fielding. I know it is easy to dismiss intercooler, especially for those with a big commitment to the currently fashionable javascript technologies, but there is some good theory behind it. It is worth spending some time reading the blog and docs to understand the deeper aspects of the library.
