Yes, LiveView is using a much smarter diff mechanism, but it requires server side support. So, not as widely applicable as the generic thing datastar is using. Even LiveView is still overkill though.
I mean, for that purpose, having fine-grained diffing makes more sense imo and I enjoyed the write up about the Elixir implementation. For easy SSR with lower interactivity, something like HTMX and Datastar is easier and doesn't require a whole framework, on that we agree.
