  > Type-checking happens at compile time, and even the JS is parsed by a user-land library and not the JS engine. True. Still, it's functions and regular JS, not strings manually processed at runtime > At runtime these templates are parsed by the browser's built-in HTML parser. It's not the first time I've seen this ... bullshit (no other word for it). Where does it come from? The only time it's parsed by browser's built-in HTML parser is when you manually call something like `element.innerHtml = "you string that you manually assembled in your function at runtime"`. The browser has no idea what is contained in your tagged string. Which is painfully obvious when you actually look at the implementations of HTM: https://github.com/developit/htm/blob/master/src/index.mjs#L36 https://github.com/developit/htm/blob/master/src/index.mjs#L... or lit-html: https://github.com/Polymer/lit-html/blob/master/src/lib/template-result.ts#L47 https://github.com/Polymer/lit-html/blob/master/src/lib/temp...
