Hmmm. alpine.js does complement htmx very well and is pretty popular, so it is a great choice. I liked _hyperscript when I saw it when assessing htmx so thought they might play better together since the author is the same for both. But I don't know if that is even really true actually, and alpine.js seems to be just fine. Honestly, it may be because I used AppleScript back in the day and _hyperscript reminded me of it!
