> The author posits that these features should be in the spec Does he? The author pretends that his library is what hypertext and hypermedia are as envisioned by Time Berners-Lee and Roy Fielding, and that his approach is the only true representation of both. And that's about it. Nothing about "this should be in the spec"

  They literally have an entire book written to contort those definitions to mean HTMX

    Then it should be easy for you to find at least one passage that demonstrates that.

You are missing the spirit of the whole thing. HTMX is a polyfill for the future state of browsers.

  It's not, and it's not even pretending to be

    Um, yes friend, that’s exactly what it’s trying to be. Carson has said numerous times that in an ideal world, the html spec would evolve to the point the htmx becomes redundant. It’s not about htmx or any library/framework - it’s about extending html. If that doesn’t convince you, then I’ve got nothing and suggest we both just go and enjoy some lazer horse/buffalo/pickle memes in the htmx twitter account
