Designed for inexperienced people that don't like JavaScript and not really required with today's JavaScript frameworks sorting out the browser inconsistencies for us.

Very interesting. I had the idea once of creating a language with a very unique syntax (just for fun) but at the same time introducing a new language to the web browser by compiling it to something the browser understands, much like how C++ is compiled to something the computer understands.

And the main focus to my language would be to eliminate the the need for the programmer to have to use multiple technologies such as HTML, CSS and javascript. You may consider that as a dumbed down language for inexperienced people, but that wouldn't be my intention. Rather my intention would to suit the developer in a single programming environment for the web.

Just an idea right now, IMO a kinda good one. :D

Quite a lot of frameworks will generate JS. Rails for instance.
There's a JSP thing that will generate HTML/CSS and JS complete with AJAX calls from XForms XML files.

I like the links or navigation menu using the /* Homepage */

That was a cool idea. :P

You click the logo to go to the homepage. I don't know how this trend got started... :roll:
