xml stands for excellent markup language
Discussion
@aeva does this mean SAML is Super Awesome Markup Language?
@aeva As someone who's working with XML

@aeva JSON is sometimes unfortunately Just Some Old Nonsense
@aeva in the same way json stands for juxtaposed splendid object notation?
@aeva X Marks Location.
If you dig enough you find HTML.
@aeva And the lighter cousin, the Kool Document Language
@aeva Stands for extasy methylphenidate lsd, which are required to fully appreciate the beauty of angle brackets.
I thought it was eXtreme Markup Language, because it was invented in the radical 90s by five gnarly dudes and one sick, kick-flippin chick.
@eniko aeva yes :D
@aeva TIL. I thought the x stood for extreme.
@aeva beside Dutch I like HTML.😆
@aeva come on, what about the huge flexibility of CSV? You can put any kind of data in any format with it! If you ever want to read that data back, however, yeah, then XML is needed :-)
@aeva xml is for people born in 60s/70s. if you're born in 80s/90s, it's yaml for you.
@lritter no. yaml is for startups who made technlology decisions based on passing fads in the 2010s and will only be free from their enormous pile of technical debt when they fail to IPO and the investors send them to a farm up state
@lritter xml is for lovers
@aeva no! only sx is good
@lritter ... what does the tld for Sint Maarten have anything to do with this
@lritter ok so how do I XSLT this
@aeva sxpp would be the equivalent tool. you define rewrite rules which transform the document.

the builtin form reference is here https://git.sr.ht/~duangle/sxpp/tree/master/item/doc/reference.md and is tested here https://git.sr.ht/~duangle/sxpp/tree/master/item/testing/builtins.sx
