Programming Language for XML

Hello all,

Just thought I'd make everyone aware of this if they weren't already. I just
encountereed it while doing some surfing.

RE: Programming Language for XML

Posted by Dean Roddey <dr...@charmedquark.com>.
XML is pretty unreadable, and I don't think it was ever intended to be
primarily a human readable format. I used to joke that XML didn't need
encryption because no one could read it anyway. Given XML's grammatical
restrictions and the complexity of the grammar of most realistic
programming languages, I can't imagine it would be a very practical
language.

I have nothing against general purpose tools, but this seems to smack of
'Its got to be good because its in XML' syndrome that exists a lot in
the hype around XML. Maybe there's a justification for it, but I have
trouble understanding what it would be, and I'm too lazy to read the
document. I could understand it as some kind of XML equiv of dynamic
HTML or Java Script or some such thing perhaps. But I just think that
the syntax would be horrendous to do anything really useful or complex
in XML.
