Yes, it is. People often talk about how HTMX allows for interactive websites without any JS. Well, there is JS, it's just that it was written by the developer of HTMX, not the developer making their web app.

presumably the implication of a "js library" is that your frontend is written by you using js, rather than declaratively via html(x).

This is true, but htmx is targeting developer experience and simplicity, not solving <noscript> user case. For this perspective "interactive websites without any JS" is accurate.

I wouldn't say that's accurate because Astro is a better fit for that description.
