How is htmx ‘just as JS compute heavy’? It’s doing way less than your average SPA. Have you seen the sizes of the JS bundles of popular SPAs? They make htmx look microscopic in comparison.
It doesn’t have its own templating syntax, it just uses server side HTML generation. It doesn’t require the backend to ‘conform’ to anything, it works with very standard HTTP forms and HTML responses. I’m afraid you’re very confused!

It's a 14kb library that invents its own templating syntax and DSL and also requires the backend to conform to its DSL.
Yes, it's smaller than some other frameworks, but let's stop with "doesn't require JS" nd other bullshit

You're saying we need magic for different js frameworks to have different performance profiles?
