Lindy Approach to Web Development: Htmx and Go
- 0x445442 3y agoI don’t mind the HTMX abstraction of JS and XHR but blindly exposing DB schema seems lazy. Clients generally don’t need or want this exposure but the “API” certainly can be replaced by notional views in a lot of cases.
- ChrisLTD 3y agoPHP would be the Lindy backend tech, right?
- traverseda 3y agoDjango is nice too.
- b3lm0nt 3y agoPlain old Ruby on Rails is significantly more Lindy than this. And how about… - LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) - CGI programming (/cgi-bin/) - HTML, CSS, JS (with XMLHttpRequest to avoid full page reloads) - AOLServer with Tcl (still developed as NaviServer) - FTPing your HTML and CSS directly to the server HTMX in particular is decidedly non-Lindy.
- rmilejczz 3y agoI was not familiar with Lindy as a concept but even the author seems to contradict themselves, in one passage claiming to be taking an approach which relies on mature technology and then in the next passage talking about how great htmx is. I think even by the authors stated definition, Go would not be considered Lindy. The approach shown is clever and interesting though!
- etc-hosts 3y agoThe man who pushes the Lindy concept contradicts himself constantly. The theory does not stand up to rigorous analysis.
- silent_cal 3y agoDoesn't fetch replace XMLHttpRequest? Or is that not Lindy enough...
