what's "HOWl"?


Hypermedia On Whatever you'd Like: use a more powerful version of HTML/hypermedia (e.g. htmx, unpoly or hotwire.dev), minimize your front end javascript, and with it the pressure to adopt javascript on the back end. This frees you to choose "Whatever you'd Like" for your back end language, without the "two codebases/two languages" problem inherent if you go with an SPA framework and a non-js backend language.


Thanks!
