I like this approach. I am especially drawn to the idea of making custom components this way but every time I have experimented with this I get burned by the context which has to be passed down through all functions.
A jinja/django template has an implicit context but for nested functions you really have to pass that context down through every function call.
It inevitably ends up just a big dict blob.
You get some typing support in an IDE but nothing really for function parameters.
Maybe I am doing wrong?
htpy supports passing data between multiple levels components with its context (very similar to React):
