haha! Former hotshot Flash ActionScript 3 Ninja Developer reporting for duty as requested. Seriously though, JSX and TypeScript are nothing new. Both were part of ActionScript 3, a big language backed by a powerful company (Adobe). 15 years later, nobody even remembers it existed. How am I still making a comfortable living coding today? By not getting too attached to any language or framework... they are all just tools in the end. So let the young ones be, time will eventually teach them those lessons, sooner than they think.

Huh? AS3 had XML integrated into it? I remember E4X and Flex but not a JSX like syntax.

  It wasn't exactly like JSX, more powerful as the XML was just another program data type to work with like strings and arrays.
