Looks like Jeremy Howard has put quite a lot of thought into the design of FastHTML GitHub - AnswerDotAI/fasthtml: The fastest way to create an HTML app.
It could be interesting to see what his demo app fasthtml/examples/adv_app.py at main · AnswerDotAI/fasthtml · GitHub would look like in Genie.jl
I didn’t know about FastHTML so thanks for the post. I actually also ran into a nice webapp framework based on angular under the hood but which is made completely in python for the end user. It’s super sleek and works really well. I think something like it would boost web development significantly in Julia. Even though you could use PyCall etc. to call directly into it I believe this is something that would be really cool in native julia. It’s called Mesop.
What should be better in FastHTML than we have with GitHub - OxygenFramework/Oxygen.jl: 💨 A breath of fresh air for programming web apps in Julia ?
As a heavy, and happy, user of Oxygen.jl I would say it’s the inclusion and ease of creating the UI side of interactive web apps. Especially since he’s basing it on HTMX which is a really good idea IMHO.
We already have something like this in Julia with Stipple.jl! It allows you to expose data to the browser and implement callbacks with just a few macros, and write the UI in Julia. See the app gallery for some app examples.
Moreover, there’s also a VSCode extension called Genie Builder for building the UIs visually without writing any code at all.
Last, if we’re striclty talking about HTML pages here. Genie.jl also implements a low-code API that replicates most HTML tags. See an intro guide here.
I don’t know. That’s why I hoped to nerdsnipe somebody to do the comparison 
Thank you for the reply @DoktorMike .
It’s a good observation that HTMX is what sets FastHTML apart.
Looking at HTMX.jl it should not be too hard to add HTMX to Oxygen.jl. That would probably take us quite close.
I’m so glad you pointed this out – I’ve been mulling over a Julia HTMX generator… but the great minds of Julia always beat me to it 
I cannot believe I didn’t know about the HTMX.jl package 
Really great to see some HTMX love in Julia.
