yeah, i'm using it on a consulting job at https://www.commspace.co.za/ https://www.commspace.co.za/ they also use hyperscript working out pretty well i guess, it gets a little crazy sometimes, htmx definitely isn't a silver bullet like some people say, but it works also, I'm the creator of htmx and hyperscript

Very modest to assert that others call your project a silver bullet and that you wouldn’t go quite that far.

Thanks for your work! First time hearing about hyperscript, was curious why a new DSL instead of just using JS: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#history https://hyperscript.org/docs/#history

  It looks like Locality of Behavior was a driving principle, one which I am completely on board with. https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/ https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/ I tend to agree with the author that "Don't Repeat Yourself" and "Separation of Concerns" have their place but make understanding more difficult when taken to extremes. Sometimes clarity is worth a little repetition.

    Locality drives me insane, but I'm old-school and keep my HTML, CSS and JS separate. That said, I really like HTMX because you aren't required to do that React bullshit where CSS and HTML are all mixed up with JS. HTMX looks like HTML, so it's less of a cognitive leap (my opinion, anyway, and I haven't dug deep into it, yet).

Thanks for saying hi and your work - I have been playing with things like alpine.js and hotwire, and HTMX is a nice way to ship regularly. Things like templated logic was considered outdated for a long time, while nothing is perfect, this tool is a nice way to start.
