	tl;dr: A walkthrough of building Go web apps with HTMX, focusing on a template rendering pattern using a shared `htmlRenderer` type that can serve either full pages or partials from the same template files, with assets embedded via `go:embed`. Key techniques include checking the `HX-Request` header to conditionally return partials vs. full pages (with a `Vary: HX-Request` response header), handling redirects via `HX-Redirect`, and configuring HTMX to swap error responses into `<body>`, disable history caching, and turn off attribute inheritance.
	HN Discussion: ↑Enthusiastic endorsement of Go + HTMX stack, sharing complementary tools and workflows ↓HTMX works well for simple apps but breaks down for complex interconnected UIs ↑HTMX is a welcome return to simpler server-rendered web development over heavy JS frameworks •Practical tips for HTMX usage, like componentizing HTML generation on the backend ~Adoption challenges arise from team/social resistance rather than technical merit
