Agreed on the syntax part. We’ve had good syntax for templates before:

  <ul>
    {% for user in users %}
      <li>{{ user.firstName }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>

And we have good syntax for templates now:

  <ul>
    {#each users as user}
      <li>{user.firstName}</li>
    {/each}
  </ul>

Why do we have to squish everything into HTML-like-but-not-quite blocks?

But no, JSX isn’t that great either:

  <ul>
    {users.map(user => (
      <li>{user.firstName}</li>
    ))}
  </ul>
