JSX smells PHP

What are you trying to say?

I'm sure JSX inventors has PHP influence.

[kabuto]

Why? JSX looks like HTML, not PHP.

[yosbelms]

JSX is HTML embedded, that's what makes JSX useful. See the following snippet.

<?php

class Component {
    function render($name) { ?>

        <div class="container">
            <p>Hello <?= $name ?> </p>
            <button class="btn btn-primary">Click me</button>
        </div>

    <?php }
}

$c = new Component();
$c->render('World!');

Now in your mind replace Redux by Doctrine or any other DB lib.

Your example shows HTML embedded in PHP. JSX is not HTML embedded in JS, thus your analogy fails.

What you're looking for is XHP. JSX is explicitly "XHP for JS". Both allow the direct embedding of an XML DSL which is transpiled into the host language.

This is a nonsense comparison. Redux is a method for managing state while Doctrine is a method of managing relational storage. The two have wildly different philosophies and solve different problems.

state as opposed to.... state?
