This was tried with Polymer way back in 2014 too, ex. making network requests with <iron-ajax> - https://github.com/PolymerElements/iron-ajax

There was also Adobe Flex of the similar era that exists these days as Apache Royale: https://apache.github.io/royale-docs/features/mxml

There was also XAML and inside Microsoft they made NetUI and FlexUI to make Office 2007+ too.

It all seems great on paper, but in practice the markup abstraction turned out to be worse than code first solutions like JSX even for novices.
