CSS does feel a lot more complex than it ought to be, but it's dominated in every variable of badness by XSLT. That's the one language that defeated my efforts

CSS does feel a lot more complex than it ought to be, but it's dominated in every variable of badness by XSLT. That's the one language that defeated my efforts to learn it (mainly by killing all desire to do so).
- Cless 13y agoOuch. Even the mention of XSLT is painful.
- stillbourne 13y agoI made an XSLT Generator and put a pretty little web interface in front of it.

- tokipin 13y agohaha. I actually love XSLT. It's closer to a language like Haskell than it is to any common language, which is probably part of the difficulty people might have in learning it. It also uses structural pattern matching, which doesn't exist in any common language at all. That's unfortunate considering pattern matching is almost as powerful a feature as first-class functions are.
