But if you read ChrisA’s blog entry, you’ll see he’s talking about using XAML as a general-purpose C# replacement.

His description goes on to talk about other domains it could be applied to… all of which might benefit from a declarative language.

If those technologies never venture into procedural code, and the developer doesn’t have to directly interact with the XML, I could see XAML being better than C#… for that single task.
