great article showing how htmx and hyperscript can play together
i know they aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but htmx is a pretty pure take on "what if HTML had kept going as a hypermedium", generalizing the various limitations currently placed on HTML. htmx stays within the original, REST-ful model of the web, exchanging hypermedia with the server in a way that is extremely compatible w/ Roy Fielding's description of the web architecture.
hyperscript is an event & DOM oriented scripting language, based on HyperTalk, the old scripting language for HyperCard. definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but it fills a need for a general, event oriented language that is easily embedded directly in HTML. This complements htmx really well in many cases. hyperscript is definitely much more speculative, but it has some pretty interesting features, such as async-transparency: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#async https://hyperscript.org/docs/#async
anyway, it's a different take on web dev, but I'm glad to see some folks running with it and I'm happy to answer questions
