the web is so built for this. when you go to sites like this it just feels right. we could have had this as our future instead of the craziness of javascript and nextjs and react. now some new devs dont know html exist. they think react is the web.

imagine what the future could have been if the html spec was enhanced to support the features of htmx rather than the push for javascript enhancements.

We may have had a future without javascript ever running on a server.

The designers make us commit war crimes with JavaScript. Can’t even use native form elements.
