HATEOAS, Data APIs, Java and How htmx Happened

An airhacks.fm conversation with Carson Gross (@htmx_org) about:
Apple IIgs and HyperTalk, _hyperscript, starting with VBA then
using Java, EJB 1.0 and J2EE, gosu, gscript, implementing Ruby on
Rails, teaching at The Montana State University, Java got lots os
stuff right, javalin and jobrunr, Java and Ruby on Rails, NodeJS
became more appealing to Ruby on Rails developers, Yukihiro
Matsumoto created Ruby, performance challenge with sorting rows in
a table, JQuery get function, the intercooler.js library,
intercooler is the competitor of turbolinks, WebComponents and
CustomElements, BCE and the bce.design template, BCE follows the
data API approach, htmx works with data attributes, the popularity
of Angular, GWT was popular, htmx renders HTML directly, htmx
follows HATEOAS, HATEAOS is stateless - the response already
contains all possible actions, Roy Fielding coined the term REST,
web was designed for coarse grained interactions, with hypermedia
approach messages are self-descriptive - API versioning is easier
to maintain, htmx encourages use of Java, JSPs with WebComponents
(link to youtube ), the Quarkus Renarde web framework,
implementation of authorization and authentication with htmx,
GraphQL gives developers and users a lot of power - which can be a
security issue, GraphQL requires the implementation of resolves,
how to version a data API, Stefan Tilkov and resource oriented
architectures ROAs, endless scrolling with htmx is easy to
implement, htmx on discord
