I asked Delaney Gillilan to return to go podcast() to revisit datastar, a very impressive tool that enable backend to push changes to the frontend of a web application. In episode 54 we covered the "what is datastar", in this episode I wanted to dive a little deeper since I personally finally started to jump and use the library in projects. I have been a dedicated user of HTMX and Alpine for a long time already and once I tried datastar I found myself capable of great interactions between the frontend and backend and mostly keep the state that made sense in the backend. It's hard to explain, you'd have to test it to realize it's true power.
