What would be the advantage over SVG ?
- mhd 10y agoPostScript is a programming language.
- milesrout 10y agoI don't see how that's a benefit.
- xaduha 10y agoExactly. Also happens when people talk about would-be DSL that they made on top of existing language and mention that you can always fallback to using it. But that's the whole point of the domain-specific language that it is not a generic purpose one! Sometimes less is more and constraints are good, there are things that you shouldn't shoehorn.
- ebalit 10y agoOver SVG with Javascript if you prefer.
