| > potentially reducing development time See this is where this falls over. Syntax highlighting + autocomplete already handle this, and where this actually works against your language, you have the problem every GUI has, inflexibility. A "coding" language can evolve, structures change, be expressive or verbose. Much like a language. I doubt your UI can benefit from these abilities, whereas an IDE already provides visual cues etc. that reduce this development time, while preserving the expressiveness of the language. So, it probably does not reduce the development time, because the tools already solved this problem, and you just have a more clunky verbose, harder to develop language instead. And the types that aren't coding in the first place are still going to struggle with things like edge cases, etc., so this isn't really democratizing anything either. |
