      Idk what’s sad about that, really. It’s a short todo list, with extremely stable reference implementations already adopted by a majority of the js community. Seems like low hanging fruit, as cowpaths go.

      Hard fork of both JS and HTML syntax and semantics, sans same grammar. As bad as these ratholes ever go. You'd be better off redesigning regex syntax.

      This sounds like an anti-Babel message. I feel like such a strong codemnationation of a widely used tool that is being actively encouraged by community leaders deserves a more finessed explanation - maybe a blog post?

      I honestly doubt spending cycles telling web developers not to use a core tool in the most popular framework on philosophical grounds is going to do anyone any good. @slightlylate should get back to his regularly scheduled program of berating frameworks for payload size.

      I also dislike jsx but I agree that the right approach is to recognize this is doing something people want that isn't satisfied by the platform yet. I prefer Vue.js' approach to templating and it's a lot easier to see something like it in the platform compared to jsx.

      Not saying JSX is something I like or not. I'm saying it isn't plausibly compatible. Also, a bit presumptuous to assume I don't see need or want to address it.

      You think it is likely to come into conflict with other future JS extensions? Or are you saying JSX is not HTML?

      🤷‍♂️ We put JS in HTML all the time. The big perf issue is that the parsers can't interop today, so HTML-on-top is most efficient by a country mile. JS-on-top w/o new syntax to integrate other types is going to continue to be slow and memory-inefficient.

          Putting parsers aside I just don't get what people want to achieve with standardized JSX???

          People want to use JSX without a transpile step. Doesn’t seem weird to me.

          Wait, you said it wouldn’t be “compatible,” but it seems like your main point is that a JSX parser would be slow and memory inefficient? And that the existing parsers aren’t proof that you can parse JSX efficiently??
