o-XML link. James Carlyle introduced me to o-XML today. It looks very interesting; one of the closest things to Jelly I've seen so far. It'd actually be pretty easy to implement the o-XML spec using Jelly. [James Strachan's Radio Weblog]
Booo. XML is designed for representing data. Programming languages are designed for representing behavior. Have a look at the examples of oXML and try writing them out again in a dynamic OO language like Python or Ruby. The XML versions are massively overcomplicated and very hard to read (XML has a noisy syntax). Remember, machines have no problems reading code, it's humans you need to think about.
XPlusPlus is another offender.
