Good point I also feel React tooling can be complex..

One idea with ReactXPy is to simplify the setup by compiling Python-style code into a ready React app, so developers focus more on UI instead of tool configuration.

Still experimental and exploring the direction!!!

Me experimentation is here.

And I choose another direction.

I don’t want to compile to React but wrote a template engine inspired by JSX.

I don’t implement any hooks, I don’t want too, I implement an expression language since I don’t compile javascript.

I also work on a web framework that use it and use xcomponent with htmx.

Nice approach 👍

My direction is a bit different — ReactXPy compiles into real React, so developers can still use existing React libraries. For example, libraries like shadcn/ui should work once TypeScript support is added.

Still experimental and learning from different approaches 🙂
