> Improvements over JSX
With the exception of html comments, these are invariably antifeatures. Optional quotes/closing tags save zero to negligible typing time in exchange for added complexity for tooling and reduced readibility in many circumstances.
I can understand why these features were added to HTML5 (backward compatibility is of more benefit than prescriptivism) but I would never have thought anyone would argue that having these features in HTML1 was a good idea in retrospect!?
Adding them to a new syntax that isn't burdened with backward compat requirements seems daft.
