The part that really sets Datastar apart for me is it holds client-side variables which are included in all requests. So I no longer have to think about piping & preserving view state when the DOM gets patched.

It's also neat how they use SSE for short-lived streams. Need a response to delete + add something? That's just two SSE events and then the stream closes. It's not a special case, it's a first-class mechanism.

Very happy with Datastar so far.
