Every time I see something like this JSX and whatnot I wonder why these people don't just give up on JS and move on to some LISP - in the React world that would be clojure(script) but frankly whatever sexp language with macros for creating DSL would fix a lot of the pain points caused by annoying web standards designed decades ago.

You could say "legacy code" and what not - but frankly you're making a huge effort when you introduce something like this or React anyway - so you might as well go a little further and do it right.
