I mean sure, but compare that to

<button @click="doThing">

In Vue. Or just plain old JS onclick in Svelte.

By comparison, HTMX is illegible



What does "doThing" do? I can't tell by reading. The above examples, while maybe slightly verbose, are completely self contained!


Sorry was typing that on my phone so got lazy, `doThing` would be a method/function of some sort. You can also write it inline if you so wish, like `@click="console.log('hello')"`
