Fascinating that react is so important that it gets a specific call out and specific instructions (and i guess python as well, but at least python is more generic) vs every other programming language in the world.

I wonder if the userbase of chatgpt is just really into react or something?

It’s not because it’s important. It’s because canvas will try to render react so it has to be in a specific format for it to work.

I got the impression that it was specifically so as not to break the ChatGPT web site.

It is used here as the default for cases when the user doesn't know or care about the technological details and is only interested in the end result. It is preferred because it integrates well with the built-in preview tool.
