There is a spectre haunting SPA frameworks… It’s a shame htmx wasn’t invented 10 years ago, but it makes sense that it’s bursting onto the scene now as a reaction to end-stage SPA mania. If htmx-like functionality gets rolled into browsers with native optimizations (i.e. faster than the Virtual DOMs and custom JS runtimes of SPA frameworks, not to mention the no-build-step benefits we’re already seeing with htmx), then it hopefully won’t be just htmx that will get rendered obsolete; Angular, Ember, React, Svelte, Vue, etc. need to go even more urgently. Pardon my enthusiasm, I really am looking forward to an HTML Renaissance.
