and yet, they cannot come up with a creative name



Funny you say that. JSX existed as a language that compiles to javascript before Facebook choosed to use that name :

https://github.com/jsx/JSX

and don't get me started on flux,relay or graphQL ...


And even before that Firefox supported a different JSX which also let you embed xml in JS. Looks like they removed it some time ago...


I think you are talking about e4x. It is really too bad it didn't end up in the spec.


choosed -> chose


Yeah, I always had hard time with this verb, excuse my french.
