Comment on A minimal, UI-focused programming language for web designers

Comments

I think this is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

That's not to say it's not a great bit of effort, but I can't think of anybody that has a job to build widgets like on the demo page, yet cannot build them via pure CSS2/3 or JQuery.

I'm no designer, but i'd find it easier using CSS examples I find off the web combined with the information-glue that is StackOverflow, if something goes wrong with UILang, I'm on my own.

Maybe if "you're no designer" you're not the target audience? There are definitely a wide variety of other ways to do this, but extending a designer's knowledge of CSS to include minimal interactions is a nice way of leveraging existing know-how. jQuery is a bit of a mess conceptually, outside the core.

But designers use google too and they look an pages where developers or other designer are. And on this pages you find tons of solutions and howtos, it is not so complicated to understand simple animations and events.
