Indeed it's hard to grasp what mission the framework is up to.

I'll just say though that am very happy to see htmx getting more traction. I'm a technical marketer and I was really saddened to see trend of bussiness logic being expresses in TS and spitted out into small bundles for marketers to have no clue on what's going on.

Now I just say this magic combo to frontend team: htmx+alpine+xstate-fsm. And suddenly I have gained the control back! JS-in-markup is a dream comming true for those who actually keep working on optimizing the websites after developers create them.

I would like to see HTMX cut down to a tiny size. It's already larger than several network packets for many network configurations (15.05 kB gzip / 42.58 kB size). Now we need an htmx-lite that focuses on not growing into it's own JS framework (that's kind of the whole point after all)
