Ah, so "with htmx you can use any language" is true because its users are no longer using a programming language per se for the front-end, but instead are defining logic with htmx's DSL?

htmx extends html to generalize a behaviour that already exists, so it's as much a DSL as html itself is a DSL
Or Vue, yes! ("DSL" wasn't meant as a negative, I just didn't know what else one would call htmx additions.)
Yes but vue is far more involved than htmx though. Vue has its own way of architecturing your project. htmx is closer to a progressive enhancement of html
