From the Tim Berners-Lee article that the posted article seems based on:
>Web resources that use these technologies [of least power] are more likely to be reused in flexible ways than those expressed in more powerful languages.
>The reason for this is that the less powerful the language, the more you can do with the data stored in that language. If you write it in a simple declarative from, anyone can write a program to analyze it in many ways.
Seems unclear how we jumped from ideas of information reuse to 'HTMX is better than smelly JS' when information reuse, as pitched by TBL, is miles down the list when evaluating tech.
So, not to rain on the HTMX parade because it's obviously the latest thing web devs are getting tattooed, but invoking Principal of Least Power here seems.. awkward/hamfisted.
