Htmx supporters have explained why htmx over Datastar many times. This is not even the first thread about this topic. Even in this thread you can easily find people (including myself) explaining why htmx and what it does differently. We don't need to repetitively explain the same exact justifications every time someone asks. Do a little reading, it's all there.
If you are making technical decisions about web programming based on HN threads though, best of luck to you.
I make technical decisions based off of metrics. Last time we talked as soon as I showed you flamegraphs you yeeted. If you think D* version of morph is just idiomorph... please, make charts that actually show that to be the case.
I make decisions based off of metrics too, it's just that we disagree about the metrics. You think about milliseconds in download times while I think about Core Web Vitals. Both have their place of course, in different contexts.
I don't make any claims about the D* version of morph or idiomorph as I use neither of those.
