An interesting native approach; there have been library-based approaches to this that date back a while. Laconic (https://github.com/joestelmach/laconic https://github.com/joestelmach/laconic) is one of the oldest that I'm aware of, and suffers from some jsquery-ness: $.el.div({'class' : 'example'}, $.el.div('content')); Pithy (https://github.com/caolan/pithy https://github.com/caolan/pithy) is another; uses function syntax to get the effect of the tag name. This was discussed previously on hn, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5486239 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5486239 html.div('#main', [ html.h1(null, 'Hello, world!'), html.img({src: 'foo.jpg'}) ]); In that discussion, there are various other implementations of similar ideas - https://github.com/markgandolfo/el.js https://github.com/markgandolfo/el.js and https://github.com/insin/DOMBuilder https://github.com/insin/DOMBuilder and https://github.com/jed/domo https://github.com/jed/domo and so on. el.js came to my attention a long time ago, and I ended up writing a clone that I have used in my personal projects since the library almost writes itself once you steal the basic idea. Using function application is the easiest way to get the effect of TFA's syntax without the cumbersome overloading of braces.
