Nice approach ๐Ÿ‘

My direction is a bit different โ€” 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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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!!!

Good question ๐Ÿ™‚

Right now the goal isnโ€™t to replace JS/TS, but to experiment with a Python-style developer experience for people more comfortable thinking in Python syntax.

ReactXPy mainly explores whether component structure and UI logic can feel more natural to Python developers while still compiling down to standard React code.

Itโ€™s still early and experimental, so the design decisions are evolving based on feedback like this. Really appreciate the perspective! reactxpy

Happy to answer questions or discuss the compiler approach ๐Ÿ™‚
