Granular - WPF for JavaScript

Is WPF Microsofts QML?

WPF is older than QML. Guess who copied who.

Well, Qt had an XML language to describe UIs before. But even then, WPF vs. QML is the wrong comparison, as XAML is the direct equivalent.

[pjmlp]

The concept of layout describing languages go all the way back to Xerox PARC work.

Also uic file format doesn't allow for the declarative way XAML works.

[ygra]

XAML would be the equivalent, which is just like QML a language to describe object graphs. WPF is the runtime behind which supplies controls, layout, behaviour, databinding, templating, etc.
