Oh I missed the point on React altogether. After 10 years, I still fail to see why anyone would use it voluntarily.

But coming back to JSX, a custom function call syntax is OK and pure because it has a one to one mapping on line number?

I don't know if there's much point in discussing purity since it's badly defined and mostly in the eyes of the beholder, but it always smelled like one hacky syntactic sugar to me.
