Shifting the focus from JavaScript to HTML doesn't eradicate the problems. I enjoy HTMX, but I can't stand the current hype cycle regarding it being a revolutionary different take unlike those JS frameworks. You're just winding up doing the exact same thing that caused the React dilemma!
- consoomer 3y agoI don't think the answer is shifting focus to HTML. The answer seems to be in relinquishing some control back to the browser, but finding a way to make the experience smoother and add interactivity as needed without handicapping the browser's control in the process.
- recursivedoubts 3y agohtmx is a different take in that it moves the state into the hypermedia itself: https://htmx.org/essays/hateoas/ https://htmx.org/essays/hateoas/ that isn't without it's own problems, but it is very different than most JS libs today i expect the hype will die down soon, as the reality of there being no silver bullet sinks in
- consoomer 3y agoI'm not a fan of the htmx take, but it's refreshing to at least hear about other methods than "yet another react/angular/etc".
