Hi Mark,

I’ve noticed that people who are using specific technologies tend to form communities that have their own unique personality. Sometimes that is driven by the tech-founder/language author, and sometimes by the members who advocate for the tech. For example, the Ruby community was heavily shaped by Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto’s philosophy of developer happiness. The Elixir community seems very supportive and driven by a loyal base of developers who are deeply invested in it.

What’s the htmx community like?

Thanks,  
Margaret
