alt Hacker NewsHTML is the last thing I would ever want to generate on my embedded device, it's a terribly verbose string-based mess invariably coupled with stylistic choices. Which is why my servers don't generate any of that, they serve static files - and any interactive information in something that looks a lot more like an interface definition.

Okay, so what do you your servers actually serve stuff to?
I kind of don't get why if you want to display something in a web browser you'd generate anything other than HTML.

I don’t get what you’re saying (maybe there’s a typo). With React, generating HTML on the embedded device is exactly what you’re doing — twice (virtual and real DOM).
