Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Streaming HTML out of order without JavaScript
There's a long-standing WHATWG feature request open for it here: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2791
And several userland custom element implementation, like https://www.npmjs.com/package//html-include-element
One of the cool things that you can do with client-side includes and shadow DOM is render the included HTML into a shadow root that has s, so that the child content of the include element is slotted into a shell implemented by the included HTML.
This lets you do things like have the main page be the pre-page content and the included HTML be a heavily cached site-wide shell, and then another per-user include with personalized HTML - all cached appropriately.

Htmz – a low power tool for HTML
I think there's a pretty strong argument at this point for this kind of replacing DOM with a response behavior being part of the platform.
I think the first step would be an element that lets you load external content into the page declaratively. There's a spec issue open for this: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2791
And my custom element implementation of the idea: https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-include-element
Then HTML could support these elements being targets of links.

I thought, oh, that's not so bad. Then I realized what I was looking at was a 10 page index.

Is Htmx Just Another JavaScript Framework?
I'd love to see something like HTMX get standardized, but I'm extremely pessimistic for HTMX's prospects for standardization in HTML.
In talking to a few standards folks about it, they've all said, "oh, yeah, you want declarative AJAX; people have tried and failed to get that standardized for years." Even just trying to get
to target a section of the page that isn't an has been argued about and hashed out for years.<p>Why is that? Well, for example, here's the form you have to fill out to start standardizing a front-end feature. <a href="https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/new?assignees=&labels=addition%2Fproposal%2Cneeds+implementer+interest&projects=&template=1-new-feature.yml">https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/new?assignees=&labels=...</a><p>It asks three main questions:<p>* What problem are you trying to solve? -

A Response to "Have Single-Page Apps Ruined the Web?"
in plain htmx, you can target an area that doesn't disrupt a playing video (e.g. the comments box appending to the comments) or you can use a morphing algorithm that disrupts the DOM less.
i have my own morphing algorithm (and a corresponding htmx plugin that allows you to use it) called idiomorph:
https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph/
i've also been working with the chrome team to get a feature added they are calling "atomic moves":
https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/1255
this would allow us to move elements around in the DOM without losing things like play state or focus or whatever
very excited for this last idea, I think it will be a huge boon for the web in general, not just for htmx

HTML Attributes vs. DOM Properties
What I said in my previous comment is observably true. Try making a demo where it isn't.
> A DOM node is a living mutable thing, but the JavaScript object representing that node is not.
The JavaScript object is mutable. The first example in the article shows this.
> That is also why a node list is not an array.
Modern APIs on the web return platform arrays (eg JavaScript arrays). https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#js-sequence - here's where the WebIDL spec specifies how to convert a sequence to a JavaScript array.
I'm fully aware of NodeList. There's a reason the spec calls them "old-style" https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#old-style-collections
> I can understand how this is confusing if you have never operated without a framework, but otherwise it’s really straightforward
Sighhhhhh. I've been a web developer for over 20 years, and spent a decade on the Chrome team working on web platform features. Most of my career has been on the low-level parts of the platform.
Could it be possible that people are disagreeing with you, not because they're stupid, but because you're in the wrong? Please try to be open minded. Try creating some demos that test your opinions.

Which browser do you recommend, one for personal security-focused use and one for work?
I'm pretty sure it is, since I get "TypeError: nodes[i].parentNode.href is undefined" and "TypeError: $mainmenu.parent(...).get(...) is undefined" errors on both Pale Moon and LibreWolf. Which is part of Shadow/DOM, and originated from google (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/06/the-state-of-web-components/). Not sure when this particular thing was introduced, since it's a "living standard"/experimental feature (https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/).

That people produce HTML with string templates is telling us something
JSX chose to align names to the DOM spec [0]. Same for htmlFor and friends.

Understanding the Benefits of "Quirky" Web Languages
The product logos in this article's cover image include different languages and technologies some of which are still relevant for web development today: HTML, CSS, JavaScript / ES / TypeScript (and the DOM), SVG, PDF, PHP, SQL (mySQL, MariaDB), mongoDB, Node.js (the most successful server-side implementation of JavaScript so far).

Declarative Shadow DOM
Thanks for the shout-out! I think I mention this in the talk, but note that YMMV. I designed that benchmark as a kind of "worst-case scenario" where shadow DOM / scoped styles really show a benefit. Depending on your CSS rules, DOM size, and amount of thrashing, the perf benefit could be small to large.
Also, it's still possible to shoot yourself in the foot, especially if you have a large/complex stylesheet repeated across multiple shadow roots. (Not because of the repetition – that's optimized in browsers [1] – but rather because of the number of DOM nodes affected.)
That said, I still think the perf benefits of shadow DOM have been undersung. And Declarative Shadow DOM makes it way more useful.
