Meh. RSS was great. XSLT was always awful. Javascript does everything XSLT did, so much better. Let it die.

- silon42 1y agoJS should die too. XSLT was better for some things.
- selectnull 1y agoThe difference being that JS is used a lot and XSLT not so much.
- jeltz 1y agoXSLT was always a bad idea. JS is a mixed bag of good and bad ideas.
- tedk-42 1y agoWow you got negged so hard, likely by people that have never really written XSLT code. I have and I've always hated it. I still to this day will never touch an IBM DataPower appliance, though I'm more than capable because of XSLT. They (IBM) even tried to make it more appealing by allowing Javascript to run on DataPower instead of XSLT to process XML documents. It's a crap language designed for XML (which is too verbose) and there are way better alternatives. Javascript and JSON won because of their simplicity. The Javascript ecosystem however (nodejs, npm, yarn etc) are what take away from an otherwise excellent programming language.
