I'll shill datastar for a second, there's barely a notion of frontend state management if you treat HTML as a projection surface with interactivity. I'd argue HTML is the most efficient wire format for interactive web apps, especially with streaming + compression.

Seriously DB->json->client->toHtml

DB->toHtml->client

Just imagine if that html wire format also conveyed the interactivity too and you eliminate the issues. And you can always seperate whatever concerns you want in whatever tpl lang of your choice.

Also htmx 4 is kinda just an worse datastar funnily enough In it's own way.
