    Plain old Ruby on Rails is significantly more Lindy than this. And how about…

    - LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)

    - CGI programming (/cgi-bin/)

    - HTML, CSS, JS (with XMLHttpRequest to avoid full page reloads)

    - AOLServer with Tcl (still developed as NaviServer)

    - FTPing your HTML and CSS directly to the server

    HTMX in particular is decidedly non-Lindy.

    I don’t mind the HTMX abstraction of JS and XHR but blindly exposing DB schema seems lazy. Clients generally don’t need or want this exposure but the “API” certainly can be replaced by notional views in a lot of cases.

    PHP would be the Lindy backend tech, right?
