Great, now you can't offload your FE to a CDN.

But on serious note, htmx is basically a solution in the search of a problem. It is the new hype.

Or rather, a solution that overlooks 2 decades of learnings. Yes, for a small set of projects htmx is okay, but even then, where htmx is ideal, static is king, and once static is not good enough, htmx sooner or later starts to feel like the XAML and BPEL soap.

The fundamental problem is that it is pretending to be a declarative language while entirely imperative.
