having played with clojure i really fell in love with hiccup syntax:

    var element = hiccup [p {id: "thing"}
                          [div "first"]
                          [div "second"]]

Yeah hiccup syntax is my favorite as well. JSX is mentally the same thing for me except I read "HTML" faster than data structures if that makes sense.

I wonder if Hiccup was the first one to introduce this syntax? I never bothered to check but I always thought the JSX inventors might have been inspired by it.
