That’s because it makes sense when dynamically creating HTML. HTML is not a programming language, it’s simply markup - so if you want to generate some block of HTML in a loop and later access that block of HTML in JS (e.g. to interact with the UI separate from creating it in the first place), it’s a completely reasonable thing to do.

Just wanted to give props to this super informative comment. Thanks for the write up and relevant links!

TS is “better” but often I feel like just configuring typescript takes up a significant amount of the time you save by using it.
