This is really intriguing!

What's the relationship between your UX markup language and XAML? Superficially they look similar - DockPanel/ScrollViewer etc (or are these more standardised elsewhere?) - with bindings/triggers being very different, Each being very different.

Is yours a superset? Does it implement full xaml layouts? Do you support xaml grids? Do you have an equivalent to xaml namespacing? Is yours actually xml in the xhtml sense or is it looser?

Is building a Fuse app anything like building an MVVM WPF app? Are you creating .net objects at any point? Is your c# thing (uno) .net?

Hi, I'm Anders. I work at Fuse :)

UX markup is not directly related to XAML, allthough it is based on much of the same principles. UX markup is designed to be much less verbose and more compact. It is not very strict Xml, it prefers expressiveness over Xml conformance. Xml namespacing is supported though :)

UX with the Fuse libraries offer pretty much the same layouts as xaml, including Grid.

Uno is not .NET based at runtime. Uno is translated to C++ and runs as native code with no VM.

Hey, thanks for replying! This all sounds pretty cool and I think you made the right choice regarding UX markup :)
