Yes I don't understand why using a simple templating engine doesn't suffice.

- grose 3y agohtmx isn't supposed to replace templating engines, it's supposed to provide the "last mile" to make your SSR pages (usually rendered with some template engine) more dynamic. I think it's a good idea. I have been writing vanilla JS for SSR'd pages for a while and inevitably reimplement some common patterns over and over (such as "load another page, select part of it, replace part of current page"), of which htmx looks to do a good job of capturing.
- hirvi74 3y ago> it's supposed to provide the "last mile" to make your SSR pages (usually rendered with some template engine) more dynamic. I completely agree. It's basically breathed new life into my job's antiquated .Net SSR [Razor] pages. There is nothing HTMX is doing that I wasn't already able to accomplish with vanilla JS or Jquery, but holy shit has it reduced my need for either (which has also saved me time too).
