no one that lived through the SGML/XML days would describe it as anything close to "simple." That's why the world has developed countless ways to get away from it all... JSON, yaml, markdown, etc. etc.
The world prefers ad hoc rather than formal and verified. Worse-is-better strikes again.
Which is ironic now that we have garbage like GraphQL and TypeScript moving us back to formalism, but built on top of dynamic ad hoc structures. Guys... this... this is bloody fucking ridiculous. It's like trying to build a house out of wet tissue paper.
