Another significant advantage of Preserve Mode is the possibility of using ReScript with frameworks like Preact and SolidJS, expanding the reach and applicability of the language.
This would be very nice to have to build server side apps. The Bun JS runtime has built-in JSX support, and using libraries like https://github.com/nicojs/typed-html or https://github.com/kitajs/html you could render static HTML and serve it from the server without the need for more complicated SSR setups like Next.JS.
@cornedor unrelated to this specific issue, but since you wrote this - I'm working on something like this, but without JSX preserve mode and just using ReScript's built in JSX support. Server side templating but with JSX and components like in React. Soon ready for alpha.
I would love to see rescript be used with solidjs. If it's possible to get this done, I am willing to work on a PR if the maintainers are for it.

I don't think it is. 😉 There will be cases where the generic transformation is not enough to solve.

Example would be helpful for others like me following 🙏🏼
@texastoland for Solid the issue is that Solid ships their own Babel transform, that turns actual JSX into <template>
tags. So while the generic JSX transform does allow us to bind to Solid h
functions, those can't be transformed using their Babel transform, since that's looking for JSX specifically, and the JSX transform has already turned the ReScript JSX into actual function calls.
Hope that helps!
Preserve mode seems to be required for React Compiler (as of today at least). See https://github.com/reactwg/react-compiler/discussions/22.
I would like to initiate a discussion on a potential feature: Preserve Mode for JSX expressions. The Preserve Mode is a functionality that, when enabled, maintains the original formatting and structure of JSX expressions in the JavaScript output generated by the compiler.
As the ReScript ecosystem evolves, it is worth exploring whether introducing Preserve Mode for JSX expressions to the compiler would be beneficial for the community. This feature could potentially enhance the readability and maintainability of the compiled output containing JSX, making it easier for developers to work with and understand the generated code. Another significant advantage of Preserve Mode is the possibility of using ReScript with frameworks like Preact and SolidJS, expanding the reach and applicability of the language.
Please share your thoughts and experiences regarding the necessity and potential benefits of implementing Preserve Mode for JSX expressions in the ReScript compiler. Do you think it is a valuable addition, or are there any concerns or technical challenges that might arise from its implementation?
