Somewhat pedantic - Using HTMX represents a modern approach to building a web front-end. However, I'm confident that recursivedoubts (creator of HTMX) would agree HTMX is not itself written in modern Javascript. No Typescript, no modules, no functional programming, no async, etc.

That's poppycock. A library that doesn't require several dozen unrelated libraries to use is a good thing and something we should actually hold up as good engineering.

I'm also confident that recursivedoubts wouldn't like you calling his library not modern. That's just insulting.

As a CEO of HTMX, I'm qualified to say that recursivedoubts is best described as a grug-brained developer.
