Happy to announce TSRX. Think it as the spiritual successor to JSX.

We extracted it from Ripple, and made it framework agnostic. It can compile to React, Ripple and Solid, other frameworks to come soon.

It's a TypeScript superset language, with a parser, compiler and a selection of plugins for editors + Prettier + ESlint, etc

It's early alpha but we thought people might be interested in it. 🧵

@retropragma @StoyanDim1020 I think it’s best to keep that stuff out of the language and kept to TSRX fragments

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

The TSRX team has listened to feedback and made some important design changes.

We’ve removed the component keyword, cut back on parts that felt too magical, and aligned TSRX more closely with JSX in how components are consumed. ⤵️

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@retropragma @StoyanDim1020 Don’t get me wrong. I liked it too. It just didn’t really serve any purpose other than being a function.

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@NickLemke273320 This has nothing to do with React though? TSRX isn’t a framework or library, it’s basically JSX2

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@theWAL_63 @SemperFiArsenal I’m still proud of the team and will in London tomorrow to show that. Might not have gone our way tonight, but we also didn’t give them any real chances other than that penalty.

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@zpao I wish you the best on your next journey :)

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@theWAL_63 Agreed. We need some summer hires that elevate us in creativity. Although tbh PSG weren’t that great tonight either attacking. To lose on penalties is always bitter. We can’t blame big gabbs for the loss either, he’s been heroic all season. There’s not a defender like him

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@theWAL_63 Odegaard was not on it tonight. Nor was Trossard or Martinelli. TBH Saka was hacked to shit and the was ref was bent. I feel like we just need a better replacement for Odegaard, if I''m honest. We just miss that creative genius that we used to have.

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@StoyanDim1020 I did too. However we’re in a different age now

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@bitclaw Have you used Claude with Opus? It loves to create hooks before the early return that are completely unnecessary.

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@eyelidlessness And conditional React hooks

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@eyelidlessness You have control flow inside TSRX blocks too and conditional hooks for React/Preact

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@proudparrot2 @threepointone Literally JSX2. Did you read the blog post?

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@NeuralForges You should read the blog post to know more

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@bitclaw Condition hooks is another major win. This comes from someone that created React hooks to begin with, they were originally designed to be conditionally.

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@mrpancakes39 No, it's completely fine :)

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@mrpancakes39 Precisely, the feedback we had was that it trying too hard to be its own language actually made it harder to learn and made it prone to issues with modern models.

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@arjendevos That renders to React. TSRX isn’t a framework it’s a language extension to replace JSX

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@mrpancakes39 The component keyword is gone now

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

@mrpancakes39 That’s just how TS works
