Sure, and the article does acknowledge that directly: >Of course, this is a lot less powerful than quoting because the evaluation strategies are being prescribed by React, and there’s no kind of metaprogramming like transforming the code itself. So maybe it’s still a stretch. To me, the connection is that I'm able to treat a reference to serialized code as a first-class primitive that can be passed around the server code (and composed via component tag composition), but indeed it's not full-on metaprogramming.
