This is refreshing, and not unlike what Stimulus is trying to do in the RoR space. This is simpler than Stimulus, IMHO.
So much about modern FE dev requires knowing stuff that was intentionally abstracted to purer forms years if not _decades_ ago and easy to pull off in a browser<>server relationship with a little bit of JS for state management or swapping content. The author even uses the phrase "AJAX," which I feel like I haven't seen used in earnest in years. This library is for the OGs.
Obviously, trade offs etc etc. If you're starting a new web based project, something that's just submitting forms and showing results, why would you really use anything more complicated than this? It's sorta hilarious that JSX took off; it shows that the declarative nature of HTML was right all along.
