Card Layout Script, a language for designing cards
No it's not, altho if that's what you're looking for I'll gladly recommend CardMaker over on github. It has the graphical interface you're likely looking for

easy way to generate some basic but uniform prototype cards?
In addition to nandeck, a quick google search also turned up component.studio and cardmaker.

Is there a tool for designing a Card Game?
Digital origin physical? For creating large sets of printable cards I'd recommend nandeck and Cardmaker. I've only used the former, but Cardmaker also looks really good.

Carcassonne Guest Book and Board Game Table Names at Wedding
We also named our tables after some of our favorite board games (which also didn’t have too weird or awkward names). And for fun, we put most of the vegetarians at the Point Salad table 😁. It was great to hear that a few people actually bought the game of their table! I designed the signs for each table using CardMaker and images from BGG.

A (free) tabletop conscripting game
This was made using CardMaker, so you'll need to setup that software to make modifications: https://github.com/nhmkdev/cardmaker

Tabletop game design workflow
Prototype - Now I'll figure out how to get that new content into paper form. At this point I'm usually using a combination of Cardmaker (some people prefer Nandeck or Indesign... or others) and google drawings (which handles basic boards/player sheets pretty well). Cardmaker is a topic unto itself, but you can make some serviceable prototype cards on it relatively quickly. My goal here is to spend the least amount of time making a prototype, while it still being a reasonable facsimile of what the game is trying to be. Keep in mind playtesting will often reveal flaws or improvements which make the previous version obsolete. Only put in as much time/effort into the prototype as you are comfortable throwing into the trash afterwards. As your game develops, some systems may stabilize (and not require revisions), at that point you can put a little more effort into making it nice.

Anyone know a software to design cards?
I can't recommend Card Maker enough. I love this little program to pieces. You feed it a css file (which Excel can export as) and then it uses that data to populate a template you design. You can make really rudimentary cards really easily, and as your needs grow you can learn how to do stuff over time in the program.

Layout cards for printing?
CardMaker (https://github.com/nhmkdev/cardmaker) as usual does all the things NanDeck does but with a usable UI.

Golarion Card Games
If you learn how to use CardMaker, even generating the final card image for use in Foundry will be a cinch!

What is the best prototyping card creator?
I've had good results with the Countersheet Creator extension for Inkscape. It's a little finicky, but essentially offers a reasonably powerful method of doing Mail Merge from CSV files into Inkscape templates.

Prototype deck
I use Inkscape with an extension I wrote (see https://github.com/lifelike/countersheetsextension) then print on regular paper, cut out, put in sleeves backed by Magic The Gathering cards (cheap/free common cards that are easy to get in bulk, and fit in cheap standard sleeves).

Layout cards for printing?
Cool. I wasn't aware of your extension. So far I've used the Countersheet extension for Inkscape to do this, but I'll take a look at yours.
