Just wanted to add to your argument an inverse argument (for JSX, instead of against Vue): JSX is actually just JavaScript with this one special rule: <foo bar={baz}>child1 {child2}</foo> becomes transform("foo", { bar: baz, children: ["child1 ", child2] }) That's it. All the rules of JSX can be inferred from that one transformation.
