Nowhere does htmx say 'No JavaScript'. We say 'targeted, high-leverage use of JavaScript'. And neither do we say 'ignore' that you need a 'complex' backend (backends do complex work, they will be incidentally complex to a certain extent anyway). We say HOWL–Htmx On Whatever you Like. It works with any backend and language you prefer and that's strength. Believe it or not, people use languages other than JavaScript.
