Noteworthy

• Compared with the chi implementation, fiber version is quite similar.
• Pug is ugly but easy to read at the same time. To make things worse, the template engine seems to use a mix of official pug and GO templates. I don't know how to feel about this template engine right now.
• htmx custom atributes in pug simply works, as expected
