Can something like JSX be used with this? It looks like a cool language, but I was never able to get behind HTML "DSLs". Their only advantage is ease of implementation and that you get to write in your current language, at the expense of write/read verbosity and comprehensibility.

Even Jade/HAML/Slim I'm ok with, since they're a terse iteration on HTML rather than a nested monstrosity of code blocks. But I prefer JSX or Handlebars.

I'm yet to see strong objective reasoning either for or against JSX, it seems to really polarise people. From an Elm perspective, I feel that the HTML API is well designed and doesn't get in the way, so I'm not entirely fussed.
