You might be confusing JSX for something else. In JSX you also don’t need new syntax for loops. JSX Is JavaScript, as people like to say.

But to your point, JSX doesn’t really do much. Your h function is basically what React.creatElement does. Google “React without JSX” and you’ll see how it looks.

JSX is just syntactic sugar over React.creatElement. And that is what makes it so nice… there _are_ no special constructs for loops, or variables, or components. They are actual JavaScript loops, JavaScript variables, and JavaScript function.

It makes JSX easier to reason about than most templating languages.
