You all realize that JavaScript is just a string in a file without an engine to parse, compile, and execute it, right?

Well, it's a drop more complicated than that. Tagged template literals know about their static and dynamic parts. And lit-html uses template tags and weakmaps for fast parsing and efficient storage.

Im fine with it being string blobs, string parsing is much faster than html parsing.
