Deku: How we built our functional alternative to React

You're in luck. ES6 introduces quasi-literals which are multi-line and will do exactly what you want. You can even tag them to set up parsing.

    jsx`<div><p>${hello_world}</p></div>`

I don't know why it'd be a better option. You're moving the time/cost of parsing client side and preventing minification. If you're going to do a build time parse, I don't understand what the extra quoting buys you.

It could have the benefit of not breaking other "X-to-JavaScript" transpilers as it is just a string.
