kotlin-htmx VS hyperscript

I encourage anyone looking to do htmx to consider Kotlin and it's excelent kotlinx-html DSL. Lets you do stuff like this: https://github.com/corlaez/kotlin-htmx/blob/master/src/main/...

Disclaimer: Not my code, just an example I found.

There is also a working integration with Django that enables the use of neat-html as a template backend, however it isn't up on GitHub yet.

I find the space of HTML generation libraries which can leverage the power of Python, really interesting.

Does anyone else get this confused with https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript ?

This works like Reactʼs createElement function. Or a library such as hyperscript. Sure, weʼd prefer JSX for its much reduced cognitive load. But our alternative here is the DOM methods such as createElement. Unless we want to load up a bulky library such as React, that is.

Consider looking at hyperscript, which is a plain-javascript library for constructing html nodes (NOT a transpiler). Similar to what you have here, but way nicer

In fairness, there's a lot of overlap between embedded DSLs and libraries — a library like Hyperscript for generating HTML in JavaScript is in many ways a DSL, but it's also just a bunch of functions that are easy to put together in a particular way. But this is often good enough!

Hyperscript (https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript) is actually quite nice when you get used to it, and I actually prefer it over JSX. Pair it with something like microh[0], and it gets even better.

The naming of this project clashes horribly with https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript. It's not like it's in a different ecosystem or something. It is a web project that is guaranteed to cause confusion.

With Mithril.js, you generate HTML using a hyperscript dialect like this:

I'm confused. Hyperscript is supposed to be an alternative way to writing JSX.

Hyperscript.org doesn't seem to be related to this at all?

The reason is dead simple. It's exported as h because it's a hypescript function. So what exactly is hypescript?
