I'm surprised no one is talking about React JSX. I'd be very interested to hear the authors opinion on it.

Unlike the author's examples, JSX isn't intended to be used by business people, but I think JSX presents some of the same problems but instead with regard to web designers. JSX is a DSL that was intended to help simplify and streamline the process of building a web app, but the leakiness of JSX as an abstraction prevents anyone less than a full front-end engineer from working effectively with React.




My point was about the tools that let people do the job they'd ask to do programmers otherwise, but it is also a nice touch. Although, I think it is not only about JSX, virtually any modern framework markup part is not easily readable by non-developer. With complexity of the clients and trends we have now it is not fixable and won't be for a long time.
