intercooler.js

:) hyperscript came after htmx htmx is version 2 of intercoolerjs: https://intercoolerjs.org which had a proto-scripting language in it, the `ic-action` attribute: https://intercoolerjs.org/attributes/ic-action I dropped that attribute (along w/ the jQuery dependency) when I created htmx, but I felt there was some merit to the idea of a lightweight scripting language that abstracted away async behavior. Once htmx had stabilized I revisited the idea, remembered my experience w/ HyperTalk as a young programmer, and decided to take a shot at that, but for the browser. I'm very happy with how it worked out, although I expect it will always be niche when compared with htmx, which has much broader applicability and isn't as insane looking. :).

Congrats on the GitHub program! Very cool. I just had a fresh read of the docs and htmx is refreshingly, gloriously simple. So natural, self-documenting, and well thought out. It _does_ feel like a natural extension of html. To me, the only "missing" piece of htmx is a component model, but for anyone looking for that, htmx would pair amazingly well with Astro[1] which allows you to define and use html components without the runtime overhead of say Vue or React.

htmx

I don't think there are major implications: the web development world is still very react/javascript/JSON-centric there is no reason that they can't tweak their services to be more hypermedia friendly if and when this approach becomes more popular netlify (which offers free hosting for https://htmx.org, so is a sponsor of the project) is very HTML/hypermedia friendly as far as I can tell, and I don't have enough experience w/ vercel to say much other than a vague sense that they are extremely react-oriented no reason that can't change as the market changes though: hypermedia pushes the main value locus of applications back on the server side and so server-side companies should like that.
