Ruby 4.0.0 Preview2 Released
Ignoring DHH's politics (which are enough to make me look for alternatives), he makes breaking technical decisions to tooling with little to no community involvement. E.g., https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/971
He makes it difficult to trust that, were he in charge of Ruby, he wouldn't just take the reigns and stubbornly do whatever he thinks is technically right for "aesthetics" at the cost of all else.

I Switched from Htmx to Datastar
Form submits + redirects are a bit weird, you cant really make the server "break out" of a frame during a redirect if the form was submitted from inside a frame (there are workarounds, see https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/issues/257).
Also, custom actions [https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/streams#custom-actions] are super powerfull, we use it to emmit browser events, update dom classes and attributes and so on, just be careful not to overuse it.

'Turbocharged' Mitochondria Power Birds' Epic Migratory Journeys
You're behind the times, turbo has drifted (heh) far in to meaning 'fast' of sorts:

- https://turbo.hotwired.dev (Drifts right back to turbo charger, but using one as the logo)
Or it can be used to amplify as in "Turbo Clippy":

Less Htmx Is More
There are two sides to the argument which I think should be treated separately: a) Is it a good idea overall? and b) is htmx implementation good enough?
a) I think so, yes. I've seen much more spa that have a completely broken page navigation. This approach does not fit all use cases, but if you remember that the whole idea of htmx is that you rely on webserver giving you page updates as opposed to having a thick js app rendering it all the way it makes sense. And yes, js libraries should be wrapped to function properly in many cases, but you would do the same with no react-native components in any react app for example
b) I don't think so. htmx boost functionality is an afterthought and it will always be like this. Compare it with turbo [1] where this is a core feature and the approach is to use turbo together with stimulus.js which gives you automagical component life cycle management. Turbo still has it's pains (my favorite gh issue [2]), but otherwise it works fine
