Yes, probably. I started using haml (then slim) a very long time ago and the hyperscript / elm type syntax is fairly intuitive to me.

What is the point of templating HTML? I really don't understand it. Just write HTML or HTML-like APIs like JSX. Is there some theoretical reason why this is wrong?

Subjective I guess. For me it’s just a reduction in noise and I prefer to read code with significant white space. Perfectly ok writing HTML, but given the option, and if it doesn’t screw with others, I prefer not too.

JSX is HTML templating
