Agreed.

In fact, I find Django and Postgres to be the best solution for htmx but Go stack is probably almost as good in terms of developer velocity and obviously much faster. So I think that's a good solution.

You can really build powerful production apps with htmx, and what people underestimate is how good it is with AI assisted development (Claude understands it and does it well, and if any JS glue logic on a specific template is required, it's pretty well written and not a mess).

I call it the GOSH stack (Go Sqlite Htmx) but HUGS is good too.

i use this stack quite a bit too. i made the claude do some load bearing 360 backflips, gate and seam a whole buncha smoking guns, and bolt go-starlark on top of this so i can just declare little web apps like its streamlit but it doesn't feel sucky like streamlit. i get to just write little blurbs of python-looking code and i get these fully reactive tools. probably my favorite and most used abstraction that came from too much wine and lazy boredom. also built stupid simple framework ish coverage for connections and duckdb and a few other things.

Oh wow, interesting combo that I would never independently reach for, but thanks to your template I might have to give it a whirl!

If you want a prototype fast, don't you use an LLM?

And if you do, why start with a simpler framework?

I also like the same stack, as it plays very well with a terminal focus workflow.
