It's misleading to call this "A declarative, HTML‑based language" when it in fact relies heavily on writing explicit JavaScript (which is very different from HTML and not declarative at all).
Something like htmx does come a lot closer to being a HTML‑based language in my opinion. So much so that you could add it to the actual HTML spec.
(That's not to say that Marko is bad, just that it's more a way to mix HTML and JavaScript in a more intuitive way rather than a declarative, HTML‑based language.)
