This is a dubious claim, since JSX is limited to expressions. If you ask people for “a conditional in JS”, they’ll very probably go for `if (…) { … } else { … }` first, not `… ? … : …` (if you can even rewrite it as a ternary). Same deal with loops: you’re limited to expressions, so you can’t use the normal way of writing a loop (and this regularly leads to mild contortions as you deal with iterables of diverse types). Therefore I’d tend to (qualifiedly) describe JSX as doing its own thing too.

Plenty of people are taught that ternary operators are evil and should never be used.

Plenty of people were also taught that proper architecture involved an AbstractGetterVisitorFactoryFactory.

That doesn't make either of those things true.

As a side note, if you find yourself wanting a loop but using `map` isn't sufficient, you should probably be preparing the values ahead of time and still using map. It'll be more efficient, and the code easier to read.
