We are limited to what is possible in the data dash-* spec. If you have better syntax that's going to work everywhere in every browser please let us know!

  You literally have a custom Javascript-like DSL already https://data-star.dev/guide/datastar_expressions https://data-star.dev/guide/datastar_expressions This wilful insanity is completely incomprehensible to me (HTMX and lit are also fully infected with it): "Oh no, we are just HTML, we can't do anything" while literally doing tons of things outside of HTML.

    What's your alternative that stay HTML spec compliant? Instead of whining show code

      > What's your alternative that stay HTML spec compliant? Again: you literally have a custom Javascript-like DSL in Datastar. Use that. It's like the "it's just HTML" or "it's HTML-compliant" mantra somehow damages the brain, or something. Edit: this custom JS-like DSL is so prominent and such a crucial part of Datastar, that it's referenced in the very first paragraph of reference: https://data-star.dev/reference https://data-star.dev/reference Oh, look, your HTML-spec-compliant thing in which it is apparently impossible to do anything outside data-* attributes somehow calls external functions, and updates signals, and reads signals, and does all sorts of things: <div data-signals-result> <input data-bind-foo data-on-input="myfunction(el, $foo)" data-on-mycustomevent__window="$result = evt.detail.value" > <span data-text="$result"></span> </div> But no! It's absolutely impossible to do something about data-on-click__window__debounce.500ms.leading
