Subject: Re: [xsl] Future of XSL Stylesheet Writing? From: Jim Melton <jim.melton@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 10:52:56 -0600 |
Hello,
I will guess that XSLT will remain relevant for the next 3-4 years, with 7 years being the 'horizon of relevant usage' tailing off past that time (critical systems going into maintenance mode will always need experts to maintain).
As an aside, I have based my time predictions on other events in the future, for example 2013/2014 is the date whereby most geophysicists and petro companies see oil usage/price attaining the critical break even point where all sorts of things become vastly unprofitable (like shipping a banana a few thousand miles).... there will be a significant impact on computing at this time as people will start (in western countries this will start; this type of decision is being made now in third world countries) making decisions like 'should I drive' or 'should I use the internet'
Feeling a bit snarky, Jim
.... no doubt the former will win out.
There are always other factors that determine successful software, and usually change is imposed by fundamental shifts in hardware. I believe these fundamental hardware improvements will eventually push us into using languages that are designed for parallel processing; which may mean that XSLT loses out.
hth, Jim Fuller
