What I’m seeing here is not new. It’s this vanilla pattern but with enough back support to leave off the framing and get the syntax highlighting:

Var button = html(’<button>im a button</button>’);

The html() function is trivial, but it just doesn’t feel like real programming to do this, even though there’s nothing else to it in the end.

Tagged template literals for html view templating is what I LOVE about Lit and lit-html. It’s JavaScript you can run natively in browser, no server or pre processor/build step necessary.

Downvote me but tell me why. The example is using .onclick, .textContent, etc in a completely vanilla way. I'm just pointing out you can get all the way vanilla and it still works. What's the issue?

lolinder explained it well in here

He did, and he pointed out the point is just IDE support so it has typing and autocomplete and syntax highlighting. Thanks, we agree!
