Ask HN: Htmx vs. Livewire?

I dont have xp with livewire, but htmx has been really powerful and expressive for what I want to do with my Django app. By comparison, I also work in a typescript/nextjs codebase, which dumps a whole plethora of unnecessary side concerns on the developer, preventing them from actually focusing on application logic and the external problem to be solved
