I knew this comment was coming. JSX is not the same as the DSLs of Vue and Svelte. They often have poor support for TypeScript and cannot be mapped, folded over etc, because they are not "just Javascript with syntactic sugar," they are a much more rigid DSL. Trust me, I've made a lot of Vue sites, I know what it's like to use JSX vs that kind of DSL.

Never mind that TS is a superset of "actual JS," your point doesn't even touch my argument which is that I want type safety, such as when props are missing or invalid types, and so on. Even if TS is not "actual JS," that's a semantic argument and doesn't matter as long as type safety exists. I've even written sites in Rust via Yew, works great and outputs HTML at the end of the day.

> Just food for thought: HTML can exist and provide tremendous value on the frontend without JS. JS on the frontend without HTML is… not quite as useful. Be careful about which technology you want to be the central player.

Not sure what you're talking about with this point, I never said HTML isn't useful.

My point was you were very TS/JS-centric with a preference for frameworks that embed HTML and CSS in JS instead of the other way around. Try Htmx?

Why would I like HTMX if I already said I dislike HTML-like DSLs? I tried it, it has the same issues as Vue and Svelte DSLs. I don't want to turn HTML into its own programming language when I have a perfectly good one through JS/TS right there that I can use.
