No, JSX in AssemblyScript with the same dev experience is very far away.
AssemblyScript is awesome, but right now it's more similar to C (with TS syntax) - it's not a TypeScript runtime on Wasm, it's a lowlevel language that looks nearly the same, that hopes to integrate Wasm GC etc when it comes (not yet).

- beepbooptheory 5y agoThat's ultimately why I couldn't move forward in it. My brain just kept thinking typescript and it was hard to manage the cognitive dissonance of it being identical syntax but with invisible limitations I wasn't used to.
