Funny you say that. JSX existed as a language that compiles to javascript before Facebook choosed to use that name : https://github.com/jsx/JSX and don't get me started on flux,relay or graphQL ...

And even before that Firefox supported a different JSX which also let you embed xml in JS. Looks like they removed it some time ago...

Nice! A few years ago I made a little program like this, called packet flight, to visualize network flows. It's a nice way to see the magic:
