Gsx: JSX-Like Template for Go
gsxhq.github.ioI'm the author, AMA
Why not Templ? Does it do something different or better?
This is why I created gsx actually. I made a post: https://jackieli.dev/posts/why-i-built-gsx/
Templ tries to stay simple, but it sacrificies ergonomics for simplicity and verbosity.
Over the years, there are many proposals: inline elements, HTML tags, error hoisting. It's hard to retrofit into it.
Beside the above, I also tried solving the all the ergonomics problem I saw when using templ. E.g. auto class merging, easy javascript interpolation within attributes. Auto json interpolation etc
