Some frontend guy said this best. It was something along the lines of:
“JS frameworks went real hard in client side rendering and branding server-side rendering old and archaic. But that they hit performance issues and began re-adopting server side features and trying to make it look cool again after shitting on it for a decade.”
When you shit on php long enough and you end up reinventing php
TIL HTMX
thx
Why do I feel this is just a dumb marketing attempt?
Hyper Text Markup formally known as Twitter?
Me: what is HTMX?
How is this different to react, angular, vue, etc.?
It’s not client-side anymore. You need a backend to produce the HTMX.
Are web servers that serve real HTML responses still a thing? Honest question. I thought JSON+client side rendering were the default by now.
Yeah, PHP is extremely common and python frameworks like Flask and Django are getting more popular, but of course no where near PHP.
