First I have heard of HTMX. I need do some research.

It's "Yet Another Framework" that will get a cult following and nothing more. It solves none of the problems with HTML/CSS/Javascript.

Yeah ... Unintentional framework[^]

fascinating comic
the ability of JS to spawn new frameworks reminds me of C's ability to spawn new languages
so many things we write compile down to C eventually, just a question of how many steps of compilation are involved (and if they don't become C, it's a question of how long ago the language became self-hosting)

Welcome back. I've heard of it. Saw it being employed at one of those online "code preview" sites but didn't give it much of a look, simply because I'm not a web dev.

Tell me about it! I did back end development for years, everything from your standard N tier applications to entire server based programming environments (before .NET I build a web farmable version of ASP)
The front end stuff was so ugly but that was prior to HTML5. Now it's gone from not as ugly per se, but just obfuscated in other ways. Too many frameworks. Too much transpilation (I suspect HTMLX adds to this problem) to the point where everything is so abstract you can't tell what's actually happening anymore.
Furthermore I suspect there's a single lynchpin NPM package that the whole web depends on and is maintained by a disgruntled developer who could pull the repo at any minute.

As with most things in the programming world and, for that matter, life in general, there is an xkcd about that : xkcd: Dependency[^]

Yes, it looks interesting enough that I'd thought I'd explore it more and maybe write a short article, but work and life keeps getting in the way.

I've done a cursory glance at it, so I'm not an expert. It's horrible though and only serves to show just how little design thought goes into new crap coming out for the web. You shouldn't be mixing logic with presentation -- even if it's UI logic. All it does is clutter up crap more than it should, makes it that much harder to hand off the presentation to a designer, etc. It's like they took the bad parts of Angular and made it worse.
History repeats though, what sucks is cool and what's cool sucks, over and over again because people really don't care to learn history about code or enough about design or real development to stop this kinda stuff from propagating.

XML, HTML, HTML5, HTMX, XAML.
To me, they're all the same; but everyone (except me) "hates" XAML.

I've never used MVVM. Today I realized I had to. So I started reading.
It's a bunch of 10 dollar words to explain a 5 dollar concept.
Microsoft, honest edition: "We originally intended you bind your business data directly to controls but when that didn't work in the real world, we noticed people would create an intermediary binding object to transform the data, and then bind to that. We formalized what y'all have been doing since VB6, and gave it a confusing name to make it our own, because you are lowly plebes."
