> It's a set of AST nodes. Ok, but you could make the same point about plain JS as in Svelte. I haven't looked into it too much, but from the readme Solid.js looks more like a compiler than a library, so whatever it outputs when it sees JSX doesn't have much to do with what JSX is usually used for, imo. I've only ever seen it used as syntactic sugar for function calls, be it `React.createElement` or `h` or `jsx`. > At some point if one jumps the shark, so to speak, and starts making uncomfortable contortions to stay within the confines of "just javascript" and avoid DSLs at all costs, that amounts to leaving a useful tool unused at the table, where it could have been effective. Personally I find it much more likely that I'll have to bend over backwards when I'm dealing with a DSL rather than just plain code, because the DSL will be really well optimized for one usecase, but has omitted another usecase that I will need at some point, and then I'll have to find some hack to accomodate the DSL rather than just add that one line of code that I could've used if it was just Plain Code. The downside is that some other things will look kind of awkward and since you're now dealing with a turing-complete language you'll lose analizability, but IMO for UIs those are worth losing if I can just use plain code.
