    > JSX is a really elegant way to avoid templating, but we're back to templating with HTMX

    Not necessarily. There are libraries in all mainstream languages that let you embed HTML generation directly in your backend server itself, without using a templating engine. Some examples:

    Python: https://htpy.dev/

    Scala: https://com-lihaoyi.github.io/scalatags/

    OCaml: https://yawaramin.github.io/dream-html/ (that's mine)

    > Routing, state management, auth, components, theming, API access, and more are all still problems that people add libraries for and those problems don't go away

    Actually they kinda do go away. Have you ever tried Ruby on Rails? It does all this out of the box.

    Nowadays I highly recommend HTML embedding libraries directly in the programming language. E.g. ScalaTags https://com-lihaoyi.github.io/scalatags/ or (my own) https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html

    Yes, you give up the ability of designers and frontend-only people to easily work with the HTML templates. But in exchange you get quite a lot.
