you mean via SSE? is any part of that an inherent "htmx only" thing, or even a "markup API only" thing?

a framework using a neat piece of technology isn't really a boon for the framework -- the technology of streaming itself is great, sure, but you can do that with any stack.

Sure, but the browser is fast and rendering HTML so why stream anything else? Why stream javascript + json to build html. You're adding a bunch of marshalling that doesn't need to be there.

Yeah, as I understand it the idea is that instead of making the server-side complex and the frontend code complex, you retain as much complexity server-side as possible and treat the browser as just a hypermedia renderer.

If a part of the page needs to change, the server figures out what it should change to and sends that page fragment.

At least, that's my cursory understanding from reading https://hypermedia.systems
