>Give a way to non-professional programmer to create simple web application. Sounds like a good idea. Wait... >(JSON format) What is this JSON of which you speak? It sounds like programming to me! I won't have any of it! I don't see why or how you want to get non-programmers interested in your programming environment. Rails already has a way to create simple web apps in a few minutes, but I don't know any non-programmers who use it. What's different about this, apart from the fact that you can write killer web apps starting from the code that "rails generate" produces?

Thank you for your feedback. JSON defines data. Human can write and read JSON files. Add logic to the data seems to me easier for non-programmer to define what a program should do. A basic JSON file for describing a circle could be: { "radius": 5, "diameter" : 25 } With the following program, we can modify the radius and see the diameter value: { "radius": "att(5)", "diameter" : "radius * radius" } It is closed to the original file. The difference with solutions like Rails is that people do not need to know how to deploy an application. In this project, people write in a JSON file and the application is automatically ready to serve the data.
