I acknowledge this explicitly in the original comment. I contest "JavaScript optional" as it implies JavaScript is, well, optional for users. I think this misleads about HTMX's capabilities, construction, and purpose, and see

Sorry, I don't believe it. I believe with <arbitrary, unspecified, framework-external work & attention to detail> you could progressively degrade an HTMX page, but there's nothing free about it. Consider this example lin

Explain it closely to me then. What is HTMX doing that enables someone to write HTML attributes that make arbitrary actions that update the DOM possible?

I take so much issue with HTMX being branded as "JavaScript optional". It's a project built for people who hate JS by people who hate JS, and as the resulting developer workflows aren't JS-based have managed to convince

So does it truly take the level of resources of Microsoft to make a good type system? It’s strange to see TypeScript infect the whole JS world while Python remains fractured at best with regards to type systems

Right, and in such a context you know what you don't know, so you're not asserting facts (equivalently expressing opinions) that will change in the short or medium term because those things which are in flux can easily be pointed

How do you hold an opinion if it has no basis that can persist over time? I personally imagine for reading one's own writing, just like listening to my own singing, the exact "pain points" you feel would also be felt by any a
