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

Comments

I really like this. I think its an interesting approach to a problem designers have.

I personally teach all of our designers enough jQuery so they can animate their designs. The issue is its a steep learning curve and to be honest the Javascript is normally throw away as once we come to build the interface we normally use a framework like Ember or Backbone.

Nice work Benjamin!

Not only designers.

When i add a complex jQuery sequence, i comment the code -> my comments look like uilang. It would be nice to reduce the work and do it in one language.

This was my main point of inspiration when writing shorthand. Comments that turn to code. To jquery as markdown is to HTML.
