A comment on Hmpl.js: Template language for fetching HTML from API.

HTML/Javascript need a lot of work to make it usable again, so I love seeing attempts at fixing pain points like this.

That said, even after reading the Why HMPL section, I don't see why I would use this? I mean, the examples look like verbose, complicated alternatives of what HTMX does much more concisely and without me writing javascript.

Bravo on getting the project here though! That's an accomplishment!

My first thought was this is trying to be htmx as well, but upon reading the readme this project appears to convert the html it has retrieved from the API into a DOM object using the hmpl.compile() function. Could I do that with htmx?
