Can you help clarify the difference between htmx and turbolinks (now just “turbo”) which has shipped with rails for years?

turbolinks takes over anchor navigation and "automagically" makes it use ajax

htmx (and intercooler.js, its predecessor which is 8 years old) is a lower level extension to HTML, allowing for targeting specific regions for replacement, using different events for triggering requests, etc.

htmx is closer to hotwire.dev, which 37signals recently released, but again is lower level and a more straight-ahead extension of HTML
