I'm the creator of https://htmgo.dev and I'll say that is definitely the biggest issue I've run into with htmx. It's definitely not an overall replacement, you will have to either rebuilt the date picker from scratch in js, or find a vanilla js library

so unfortunately the major downside I see so far is it's fairly hard to find good open source vanilla js libraries for things, as most things seem to be written for react.

other examples include: - virtualized list - combobox

Mostly just thinking that XHR to mutate (form submissions, etc) and then SSE to send the updated DOM elements would be a good combo

Sorry yes I meant SSE, mistyped!

why websockets and not just SSE + XHR? Or even just XHR

Edit: SSE*

imo htmx is good but its a bit too low level to use directly, you sort of have to rebuild all the features frameworks like React have, such as components in your server programming language.

I'm building https://htmgo.dev to do that with go + htmx, and http://fastht.ml seems like a good contender for python

I’m not quite sure what the roadmap looks like for gocomponents but it looks similar but I think it’s only filling one part of the puzzle. My plan for htmgo is to become essentially a ready to use framework for building your whole app, using very fast/lean modules, similar to Ruby on Rails, especially rails 8, and not just an HTML builder

I’m on mobile at the moment so could probably give you a more detailed answer tomorrow, but check out https://htmgo.dev/docs#interactivity-events

What makes you believe the prefix can’t be omitted in htmgo? You just alias it the same way with a ‘.’

This is very cool, I like the website too

that looks nice, I've enjoyed Kotlin when I used it in the past

yaegi is very interesting... I'm going to see if I can get it working on htmgo for reloading the views.
