Forgive me, but what does any of this have to do with authoring documents? Aren't JSX and React about coding models and views?

- 3pt14159 10y agoIt doesn't. They are either joking, being snarky, or over estimating the coding aptitude of people like scientists.
- guscost 10y agoSure, most scientists are not going to have time to learn all the ins and outs of JavaScript. But you may be underestimating the potential convenience of composable components. It seems plausible that well-built components, using JSX and whatever rendering engine you prefer, could be much easier to work with than a language like LaTex. Of course building these components would not be a simple task.
