If you like JSX, good for you. But tbh it's neither necessary nor the best solution...

FWIW, for HTML template:

1. How easy is it to support loops? 2. How easy is it to compose (defining small components that can be used in larger components)? 3. How easy is it to make the UI reactive to client-side state changes?

What is the alternative you're refering?

tbh, you don't need JSX to know where things begin and end (if this is something really important for you):

li(a({href: "https://vanjs.org/"}, "VanJS")/*a*/)/*li*/
