Subject: Re: [xsl] RE: Are there things missing in XSLT which force people to use, say, Java to process XML? From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:43:41 -0400 |
I recently saw the following assertions. Can you help me refute them please:
(1) XSLT is a complete programming language, but doesn't support most things most developers need to do. (Graphics, networking, relational database access, parsing HTTP headers, generating RSS feeds, peer-to-peer networking, memory management & caching, thread management, MIDI programming, the list goes on and on and on).
(2) Java (and others) were also designed to be enterprise-class programming
languages. This means the assumption that many programmers will collaborate
around a large project. Encapsulation and complexity hiding are very important.
A strongly typed, compiled language (not interpreted) is also important.
In short, XSLT wasn't designed for "programming in the large".
