React aside… hooks, classes redux fatigue whatever- JSX is beautiful and any other framework that builds this quasi irb+mustache+html-like-markup is taking 2 steps back. I would like to see JSX survive the framework wars of 2024-2025

I abandoned Django purely because JSX is so superior to Django templating + adhoc JS. Even if you pivot to Django Rest Framework, you will immediately feel the creaky 10 year old Java EE class based approach that doesn't make intuitive sense until you wade into the magic variables and methods.
I think main issue is that react is easy to integrate with node, next etc. But python, php (laravel) etc. cant just run react-dom on the server. However would be interesting to see react-dom builders for php & python that would allow you to user react as a templating language in Laravel & Django.
