Can you add to the README what would be the next steps users need to take in order to synth and deploy this app?

I think that's not a concern. Having support for multiple languages and idioms is actually a tenet of the CDK, and as such this proposal enhances the ecosystem.

This is possible but probably the hardest part. Constructs often offer imperative APIs that won't be expressive JSX but can technically still be accessible from code.
The work we did on decdk can be leveraged.

In my opinion the code for a lambda should still be a separated file, and be passed to <Lambda /> as a prop as a path to the code
e.g.
<Lambda handler="src/handler" />
|
I see 2 ways how this can be done.
Creating components for all existing constructs/api, should involve a loooot of work. And in the end if JSX is transformed to something like constructs, then jsii can also be used, from my understanding. ps: I'm new to AWS CDK, I don't know exactly what I'm doing 😆 how it works under the hood 🙂 |

So we need to create a JSX transformer that respects https://github.com/aws/constructs interface |
