Such an idea crosses all concepts of language (spoken/programming/domain specific) and by mindfully unifying design & engineering behind a naming/organization system (“language”) you can make it easier to convey product ideas and make the process of implementing those ideas easier and faster to realize. At it’s best, “Component Language” is the process that organizes & definitively names a component in your codebase and design files. This process most likely won’t happen organically, especially on larger teams. …
