Really appreciate the insights!! I think JSX/TSX are a lot more powerful than most data representations because 1) you can modularize and import sub-circuits really easily and with an effective known pattern (the npm registry installation pattern) 2) you can compute pretty complicated data from relatively simple React components, e.g. <DualInlinePackage pad_count={6} /> produces 6 pads with standard spacing. I also think it's really powerful you can add type validation (e.g. any odd number is invalid for pad_count). I'm counting on smart people creating awesome patterns/higher-level-components just like they did with React for web!
