I'm coming to the unfortunate realizattion that supply chain attacks like this are simply baked into the modern JavaScript ecosystem. Vendoring can mitigate your immediate exposure, but does not solve this problem.

These attacks may just be the final push I needed to take server rendering (without js) more seriously. The HTMX folks convinced me that I can get REALLY far without any JavaScript, and my apps will probably be faster and less janky anyway.

HTMX is full of JavaScript. Server-side-rendering without JavaScript is just back to the stuff Perl and PHP give you.

Do you count LiveView (Elixir) in that assessment?
