  • But why bother with creating a new language, and duplicating all the features your language already has, in a weird way?

    If I want a list of UI items based on an array of some data, I can just do items.map(item => 〈Item key={item.id} item={item} /〉), using the normal map function that’s already part of the language.

    Or I can use a function, e.g. items.map(item => renderItem(item, otherData)) etc.

    JSX itself is a very thin layer that translates to normal function calls.
