I did this years ago, in a project called Claro, and then again in http://ihate.rubyforge.org/profligacy/lel.html http://ihate.rubyforge.org/profligacy/lel.html and pretty much every GUI framework I've done. I got the idea from Wiki syntax and the Cassowary constraint solver as well as Knuth's algorithm.
Apple's done nothing original here.
- binarycrusader 15y agoI think whether they've done it well is more important than if they've done something original. Lots of people do original things, but not very well.
- stephth 15y agoThis is awesome. This concept of building elastic layouts with ASCII code is new to me and I agree with @jamesaguilar that it's one of those obvious yet genius ideas. Has anything been done towards this direction to generate CSS layouts? It seems like it could cure some headaches.
