There is no need for a light JS replacement to be as verbose as prose. The Venn diagram of engineers trying Hyperscript out on their side projects and people unfamiliar with code syntax are two distinct circles.

Certainly not for everyone but it is being used in production in multiple applications.I see a visual language Node-RED with tunable parameters in nodes as the way but have kept up with this project a little... no reason user scripts need to be one or the other.
I guess developers will be valuable in implementing and supporting users in any case, I see these tools as reducing support and maintenance for doing variations from the day to day business use more than replacing the dev team.
