Htmx Is the Future

Even if you’re not A/B testing you’re going to have some validations that only happen server-side because they require access to resources the client doesn’t have, but I don’t see either of these points as arguments against sharing the validators that can be.

I agree. These points are arguments against the philosophy of HTMX which asserts that you can get everything you need without client-side logic.

To be fair, I'm also not a fan of bloated libraries like React and Angular. I think we had it right 15-20 years ago: use the server for everything you can, and use the smallest amount of JS necessary to service your client-side needs.

It’s been a while since I did much frontend work but I actually found Angular revelatory. It makes it so easy and it’s really batteries-included.

That's not true at all. HTMX extends the logical capabilities of HTML, and _hyperscript goes even further.
