JSX is a thin XML-like DSL on top of Javascript.[1] Unlike untyped strings with a custom parser of Vue, which require you to write something that’s neither HTML nor Javascript.

You can have as much separation of concern as you like with React.

JSX is also neither HTML nor JavaScript.

^ this.

It directly translates to `React.createElement`. This is also why everything inside {} is pure Javascript including things like proper `this` etc.

Ok, so they both let you use something more like what you already know, except neither of them are technically JavaScript or HTML. Glad we established that. I think the understated bikeshed color here is that VueJS allows you to use jade/pug syntax instead of HTML.
