Hmm... JSX isn't HTML. I thought we established that.
Moreover, JSX components are plain old Javascript functions and classes. You write plain old code that follows normal rules if the language when you deal with them.
JSX DSL is there for convenience because it's, well, extremely convenient.
There are feeble attempts elsewhere to equate JSX with writing HTML inside PHP tags which fall apart the moment you give JSX more than a give-second cursory glance.
Yes. But... JSX is not HTML. And no, the issues PHP had with embedding HTML do not apply to JSX.
JSX is a paper-thin DSL on top of Javascript. JSX components are regular Javascript functions and classes. You work with them the same way you work with any function it class in JS. Unlike PHP where it was actual HTML interspersed with PHP code.
I get that JSX is a DSL that ends up being javascript. But there are a lot of arguments why we don't write HTML directly between the PHP which still apply to JSX, even though it's not HTML. For me as a programmer it doesn't matter what happens under the hood.
Whether I type `return (<button>foo</button)` in react or echo '<button>foo</button>' in php, it's the same thing from my point of view as an application builder.
