Hey everyone! Did you see the latest JavaScript Rising Stars results? I’m pretty excited about htmx winning the frontend framework category this year. It’s cool to see a lightweight library getting recognition.
What do you all think about this? Are you using htmx in your projects? I’m curious to hear about your experiences and if you think it deserves the top spot. Also, how do you think it compares to other popular frameworks like React or Vue?
Let’s chat about the future of frontend development and if htmx’s win signals a shift in the industry. Share your thoughts!
omg htmx winning is pretty cool! i haven’t tried it, but wonder
how soon its learning curve will catch up with react. ever experimented with it on a real project? curious if its simplicity can match the power of more complex libs. any experiences? let me know!
I’ve been using htmx in a few projects recently, and I must say it’s quite refreshing. The simplicity of htmx allows for rapid development, especially for smaller to medium-sized applications. Its server-side rendering approach can lead to improved initial load times and better SEO.
However, it’s important to note that htmx isn’t a direct replacement for React or Vue in all scenarios. For complex, state-heavy applications, traditional JavaScript frameworks still have their place. The win for htmx likely reflects a growing interest in simpler, more HTML-centric approaches to web development.
While htmx is gaining traction, I believe the frontend landscape will continue to be diverse. Each tool has its strengths, and the key is choosing the right one for your specific project requirements.
