Htmx 4.0 is over 100kb / 2,000 lines of code. Isn't there a way to slim this down some? I mean, isn't the basic idea just a couple lines of code? I remember AJAX 2.0 or whatever loaders that were only 1-5kb wrappers around XHR back in the day. Now we have fetch() which is even more basic:

    fetch('/my/api/content.html')
      .then(response => response.text())
      .then(html => {
        document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = html;
      });

I don't mean to imply this is close to total number of Htmx features, but fetching islands of content is the core idea and I feel like we're way past feature bloat at this point for something that is supposed to be simpler than React (Preact is only 10kB)
