JSX is no longer my friend

FWIW my comment also blew up more than I woulda expected. I wasn't really responding to your article even, more to Andre's flavor over the top anti-JSX attitude. It's like you said: each team is different and should use what works for them, and making overblown arguments doesn't help that.

If I can double down on the mistake though, I'd be concerned if someone who didn't feel like learning how JSX works tried to dive into immmutables and combinators :D.

Thanks for react-hyperscript-helpers! Feels like react-native in a good way.

To a certain extent I think Andre's arguments suffer from being 140 chars or less. Seems like he's yelling probably more than he is. And since he brings it up at least once a month I can understand if there is a bit of eyeroll.

Haha, fair enough. Something that I didn't mention but I suppose bears noting, I have, not so secretly, been moving the organization I work for towards elm. hyperscript is much more akin to elm-html than JSX is, and is one of the "comfort level" stepping stones in that effort (along with immutable data structures, combinators, pure functions, etc). While the things I mention in the article were my primary motivators, I'd be lying if I said the above wasn't a factor too.

Thanks!
