What if you could write XAML without all the verbosity (or angle brackets)?

A new, simplified markup language to define application UI. The new files automatically generate comparable XAML files for your WPF, .NET MAUI, or WinUI app, which is then compiled as normal. Fully configurable, totally optional (use it for some or all XAML files) and low risk as the XAML (and C#) files are still available.

It addresses the common complaints about having to work with XAML and adds new functionality without the need to change any of the existing tooling.

I don't understand the beef with angle brackets.. the same people will then push pwas as a serious alternative. Which is html or another word for angle brackets. Xaml is verbose. But it is also expressive. Not sure you get one without the other. Surely it could be better bet I'm confident that they are working on that.
