JimM says; 'Oh, definitely...SQL was popular for only about 7 years and then' SQL is a different beast then XSLT (SQL is now entrenched technology)...we all know that a lot of stuff (database servers etc...) was sold on the back of its usage ... can't say that the route to commercialization is as clear with XSLT, which will limit its lifetime and promotion from the larger software powers that be. As for parallelization, anecdotal evidence shows that there are lots of situations and scenarios that most XSLT processors does not do as well as expected .... this maybe due to implementation issues, I do not have a test suite to back up any of these assertions ... be interesting if anyone has started down this route. lastly, XSLT falls under my 'too cool/useful to be adopted widely' rule of thumb, which is why of course I have been using it since 1999 ;) cheers, Jim Fuller On 9/28/07, Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > At 12:52 PM 9/28/2007, Jim wrote: > >Not to be too sarcastic, but almost everybody who predicts that > >technology X will be abandoned/overtaken/replaced in "just a few > >years" have had to move into new predictive fields when they're proven wrong. > > I guess predictive fields only last seven years or so. > > Cheers, > Wendell > > > > ====================================================================== > Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com > 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 > Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 > Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML > ======================================================================
