What Hacker News says

JSX was also created with the intention of using traditional conditional/looping constructs, but that hasn't stopped Solid and Preact from repurposing it for fine grained reactivity. Preact's signal implementation has Solid-like Show/For components [1]. I won't speak for the author of the proposal, but given that Lit itself has special control flow mechanisms for conditionals and loops (the cache and repeat directives respectively [2][3]), I can't imagine the proposal being too opposed to these mechanisms.
