Yes, I program in HTML - Lemmy

I recently had to work with XSLT (may it’s inventor burn in hell for their crimes).

That’s pretty much programming in XML. It’s probably the worst possible thing.

Bro the project I’m on uses XSLT and the first time I saw it I legitimately thought I was having a stroke because I could not accept that anybody would be stupid and/or sadistic enough to actually want something like that.

However, I’ve now made it my mission to master it because it makes me feel like a high-born wizard speaking of ancient secrets in a tower high above humanity

I totally know that feeling :)

Well, in the 90s, XML was the future. Luckily, not a lot of this future remains.

Just imagine what HTML would be like if JSON had been available back then.
