But when will be ban XML?
1 comments

Asbestos--spiky things in the lungs.

XML: lots of sticky typing of tags.

We don't yet know what we have wrought with XML, what insidious harms shall come from squished fingers upon rubber-domed keys.

  Over and over, the tags!
  Opening and closing, the tags!
  Verbose yet incomplete,
  Wayward schemas in attr equals,
  Transforms atop loops and ifs,
  Ending yet starting yet ending <starting
  Maven, web.xml, SOAP--
  Newlines and through lines, blobs in
  SQL row lines <!-- comments too
  Trees never perish,
  Always and ever the roots flourish
