Alt...

Four carved pumpkins in a row;l the nearest has the letters X M L carved into it, lit up from a candle inside.

Alt...

Two pumpkins at night - a happy face, and another with the letters X, M, ,L. Because XML makes me happy.

Someone asked me last week why anyone would use XML today.

But for what XML was designed for, where the documents are more important than the application, there is nothing better.

If you spot any errors (e.g. in my recall of history) do let me know. If you know of additional additional (direct or by proxy) examples of the war of Google on XML, RSS and/or XSLT do let me know.
If you know of more interesting use cases for XSLT, do let me know.

Also, I'll probably add a post-scriptum in the coming hours or days, but I wanted to get this out now.

It went dormant some time in 2015, to my knowledge. I had genuinely been joking about an #XML parser in process 1 until someone went and did that.

With a shell, of course, it's the same sort of thing, with a full language parser, an interactive user interface, curses, terminfo/termcap, an editing library, command completion add-ins, and so forth, in the program for process 1.

Almost all proper process 1 programs do far less.
