What advantages does HTMX have? You end up with splintered spaghetti code, multiple languages/idioms, and unpredictable state.

The creators of HTMX are combative, dismissive, and short-sighted. Keep them far away from any spec discussions.

Who said it can’t do gaming? All the regular graphics APIs are supported.

They sold the Xserve for ten years, across the PowerPC and Intel eras.

You said you added a new Go templating layer.

Easy claim to make when you’re not responsible for storing those books.

How does introducing a third layer reduce complexity?

HTMX is just as JS compute heavy. It's not magic.

They are silly assumptions, especially for an open-source project trying to gain mindshare.

Laptops have been outselling desktops for decades, and the idea that Apple users are some quirky tiny minority has been false for just as long.

Blender’s UI just makes bad assumptions.

I wouldn’t call Blender’s UI particularly great either. The assumption that you have three mouse buttons and a separate number pad is pretty crazy.

Except they already paid taxes on that one billion in cash. The receipt of that cash is taxable income.

Investments aren’t money. They’re just things you own, and their value can go up and down. They don’t affect the money supply.

Hezbollah attacks nursing homes and football games. How is that justified?

So you’re paying attention to the last few weeks instead of the last several decades.

Where was this outcry? Hezbollah made northern Israel uninhabitable for years.
