You can reimplement htmx functionality with Alpine, but htmx is a lot better than `@click="fetch('/partial').then(res => res.text()).then(frag => $el.innerHTML = frag)"` all over the place (with a slight variation in that one component that you miss because of the noise).
Don't use _hyperscript just to be "'`consistent`'", use it because you want to. Being agnostic and playing well with other tools is a big thing for htmx. _hyperscript is lots of fun and lets you write very readable code, but you also need to stomach a 26mb bundle just to toggle some classes :/
(if anyone reading this can help us make it smaller, LMK)
