I wish the syntax was more like erb i.e. instead of { } although I'm sure someone will explain to me why they can't!
I’m sure they could, I imagine they’re appealing to those who prefer JSX’s syntax.

#12Does something like this exist for python?

#13Full circle complete? back at PHP early days
I'm under the impression erb is much more like PHP. This is almost the inverse of erb, in a way.

#14I didn't know about ViewComponent until now, it looks more appealing to me than Rux. Dealing with transpilers is a necessary evil in JS land, I really don't want to bring that headache into my Ruby code.

#15Does this support HAML-style syntax? We're 100% HAML-only for templating, whether normal Rails views or ViewComponent... https://github.com/haml/haml https://haml.info/ so going back to writing HTML or ERB feels like a huge downgrade.

ViewComponent is really cool, but still a little fresh. I'm excited to see how they update it in the coming year.

#17Rails has had Builder::XmlMarkup for a long time. It's been extracted into a gem: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/builder/Builder/XmlMarkup
You could easily write a method to do this:
def html(&blk)
io = StringIO.new()
builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target => io, :indent => 2)
blk.call(builder)
io.to_s
end
html do |t|
t.span "#{@first_name} #{@last_name}"
end

You can avoid transpiling if you write views in pure Ruby instead. Ruby syntax has everything you need to concisely represent all valid HTML — method calls are tags, keyword arguments are attributes and blocks are content.

#19This is pretty cool, I like the idea of using inline templates in ViewComponent. I wonder how this would look using something like Markaby[1], so the templating stayed pure ruby, instead of having to be passed through a transpiler...

Modifying their own example, I kinda like it.
class GreetingComponent
def call
div {
"Hey There" +
NameComponent(first_name: "Homer", last_name: "Simpson")
}
end

#20here's a couple more to throw into the mix.
Hypertext allows you to write HTML from Ruby. https://github.com/soveran/hypertext
rbexy - A Ruby template language inspired by JSX https://github.com/patbenatar/rbexy
imho, hypertext has a great deal of potential especially the DSL.
