I fear that a LOT of people are going to start using for the same reason they use ; it saves them from having to learn a language they don't like.

@schizanon Personally (I'm a vanilla JS/LAMP guy) I'm thinking of looking into #htmx in some detail -- I do not like React etc., because i like LAMP. I mostly like vanilla HTML-way of doing things, but I get sick of having to sometimes set up elaborate fetch. Not sure, but htmx looks pretty standards-driven...

I'm a LAMP guy from way back, but I feel that Node.js fits where PHP used to just fine.

If you're writing JS on the server you might as well use the same code to render html on the backend as you do in the frontend.

React is just an HTML template engine that works in the browser too. Two birds, one stone!

But if you aren't into the Node.js ecosystem at all, then is great because there's no build, no dependencies!
