hello folks, I don’t use clojure, but I saw @foo’s article on #C013Y4VG20J and thought I’d join the slack. I created http://htmx.org and http://hyperscript.org. happy to answer any questions around these two things if people have any.

Welcome! I’m probably going to get to use htmx in a new Clojure project I’m currently working on — many thanks for creating it!

Welcome. I use htmx in a clojure project as well as in a node.js project. The development experience is great.

that’s great to hear, my hope w/ htmx is that people can use their preferred server-side language and framework rather than being pressured into a JS-based backend because they have such a JS-heavy front end

Htmx even leaves more options open for JS backends. If the frontend is react, what is react without server rendering and what is server rendering without next-js. If you do react there are not a lot of good reasons not to use next. Using htmx gives me many more options and it is a lot of fun.
