I am burnt out (but recovering!) with web dev and htmx is what I am using for my project. Django, DRF, Postgres, tailwind and HTMX. I am so tired of all the front end frameworks and all the complexity that gets added. At some point I think you need it and you get returns from it but hearing more people in the industry recognize and talk about how JS everything isn't always the answer gives me hope. I like what HTMX h…

About 2 decades of software development and today I would choose the same stack. I've coded in PHP, C#, Java, Scala (Play framework), Rails, NodeJS, a bit Go. Django, DRF, and something like HTMX will be my default choice today, unless there's a specific requirement or the project is something unusual.

Kernel is done with C. Everything is basically done with C. Even JavaScript.

The most popular JavaScript engine (V8) is written mostly in C++. Same with WebKit. Other JS engines are written in Rust, like Deno or Servo (used in parts of Firefox). I'm not aware of a major Javascript engine which is written in C, except for QuickJS, which is not "major" in any sense of popularity but is an efficient engine for embedded use cases (and anything from Fabrice Bellard is always work a look).

I suppose C++ is written in C. In similar relationships like Typescript and Javascript.

Not really, no.

+100 for alpinejs. Alpinejs is indeed the successor to Jquery. React forces you to think like how its designers view the world. While alpinejs does not really interfere with your workflow. That's a huge sell for team like mine where we are working with legacy projects and devs of various levels of XP. We can get a jnr dev up and running in a week flat.

hey thanks for that. any particular opinions on hyperscript vs alpinejs ? hyperscript is said to be "made for htmx". But alpinejs is generally more popular standalone. so im wondering about the choices here if we're starting a htmx project.

Sorry mate. Have not used hyperscript so any comparison from me would be less than objective.
