One thing I've always liked about the Clojure community, is that they are obessesed with state. I think they have correctly identified, that when things go sideways, it is because state management was involved in some way. This is a cool front end approach using datastar to put all of the state on the backend and side step front end state management entirely. There are some other really interesting things happening with electric clojure and a new "framework" called Replicant. Of all of them, Replicant seems the most intriguing to me personally. If it didn't exist, I think I would be trying to use datastar as this article outlines.

I agree with state management being the culprit. But the most-hyped solution nowadays seems to be: "We'll just ignore frontend state, whatever the consequences for user experience. We'll just say this is how HTML/CRUD was always supposed to work and that will make it fine. [Appeal to authority]"
