  > Combining HTMX with raku Air, Red and Cro so that you can just build websites the right way™. Web-related software development is hilarious in its creativity and absurdity. I'm sure it works, and well-tested too, but do we really need all those libraries and languages with cute magical names? I suppose it's smart people having fun while hopefully getting paid.

    to expand on this (and yes the "claim" is intentionally tongue in cheek) - HTMX is established as an antidote to React and similar overly complex tools - it has started a renaissance in server side web design options - raku (HARC), Go (GOTHH), Python (FastHTML), Rust (HARM) etc - HARC builds on the declarative/functional approach of ElmLang - Cro (web stack) and Red (Object Relational Mapper) are the raku "goto" modules HARC is a very serious attempt to refresh the web development experience for hard core coders that embraces LOB and eschews templates with constrained semantics. raku is well suited for this, but you do need to learn it. Do we need a better way? Perhaps we should stick with the lovely situation we already have.
