   the top-level comment (mine) literally celebrated the v4 changes, and I've done nothing but show respect and gratitude for HTMX. I was simply asking, though, what I might be missing now that HTMX is becoming a (heavier) Datastar-lite (

   Ah yes, one of the world's most valuable companies is totally a solid parallel for a few guys part-time making a simple, niche js framework whose pro license they discourage people from purchasing... Totally.

   Thanks very much for a thoughtful reply and link to your article. I look forward to reading it. As it turns out, I shared that very same article in the Datastar discord the other day! Here's some other good ones that I found while digg

   How does this differ from any other open source project (most of which are not non-profits, and are utterly unsustainable)?

   That tiny difference is hardly a reason not to use datastar, especially when it brings SO MUCH more useful stuff - all in a smaller package. Moreover, the fact that Datastar is more generalized is actually better - HTMX has vastly more (n

    I dont think they have a trademark. I also think they'd be completely in favour of HTMX rebranding to Datastar Libre.

    Are you aware that v4 is baking idiomorph into the core...?

    Respectfully, almost everything you said is just plain wrong. 1. Datastar supports req/reply just fine - be it via normal text/html responses, or SSE (0, 1, or infinity responses) https://data-star.dev/reference&#x

    I can't tell what sort of sarcasm this is - whether youre saying that the inspector should be available to all, or that no one actually needs it. Whatever the case, you dont truly need it, but it is helpful. You buy it for convenience

    Someone just recommended this to me the other day! I must also recommend the recently-deceased legend Sebastiao Salgado's photos from Kuwait oil fires. https://publicdelivery.org/sebastiao-salgado-kuwait/

    I think the logic is the following: * Datastar was re-written from the ground up, numerous times. * They didn't want to update and maintain the plugins that they viewed as unnecessary/anti-patterns * People wanted them still, so t

    Better late than never. Everyone benefits with HTMX evolving and bringing more attention and capabilities to hypermedia-first approaches.

    I'm not qualified to comment as I don't use the feature, but people in their Discord would be happy to explain/discuss - its a wonderful place for learning more about the web, backend architecture and more. I'm also sure

    Fair. Though, D*'s authors are pretty adamant that this is an anti-pattern - that's why they put it behind the paywall. Moreover, the FOSS code still exists and would take 2 minutes to update to the current plugin API (I have Data

    I can appreciate why people would have this perspective - I have been rugpulled a few times recently by thoroughly unscrupulous companies (Augment Code are trash humans). But Datastar is different. The project is literally owned by a 501c3

    Great to see this evolution! Realtime ssr hypermedia is definitely the future. But, my thoughts immediately go to Datastar, which has Fetch, SSE, declarative signals and js expressions, dom morphing, and much more - in a tiny package. I fi

    Surely you're not saying that everyone should just start posting all of cloudflare's blog posts? Let alone all blog posts on the net. So, what's the threshold for what should be shared, given that most people don't know

    Am I wrong to have expected this to be about using Golang in Java, in some way?

    Seems like instead of a hand-rolled, polling Pub/sub, could instead do CDC instead with a golang logical replication/cdc library. There's surely various. Or just use NATS for queues and pubsub - dead simple, can embed in your

    Just noticed that as well. Isn't this strictly against the rules here? It has a completely different meaning from the original title and actual article content.

    Contrary to those woo are downvoting you, I'll say that what's wrong with your analogy is that react would be like driving the 18 wheeler across the country with the handbrake on. There's better ways to do anything.
