So I'm the guy who wrote the post in question. As the view counter started to exceed my expectations I thought there would be a fair amount of negative feedback. I was surprised that there wasn't much. Turns out that it's all here on HN! :P First off, I can't believe all of you actually read that. You have both my sympathy and thanks. Even more thanks for commenting on it. I want to address a few of the points brough…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The "handlebars" are just plain javascript syntax for a block, not template markers. You can try it in your browser console. { console.log(123); }

Not exactly... within JSX the handlebars signify "now I'm going back to plain JS". compare console.log(123) with { console.log(123) } The first outputs a div with the text "console.log(123)" inside. The second logs "123" and outputs an empty div (since console.log returns undefined).
