Yep, I went through the process of replacing all our XML objects into json ones about 6 years ago now. Smaller files and much easier to read, manipulate store and transfer. And while I personally quite liked XSLT, javascript is a much more

While this sounds like it "should" be true. I think managing that will turn into something of a nightmare. IPFS is making awesome inroads into achieving that, but its not clear of the benefit over something like say freenet (other

Tell that to your bank manager when they make a mistake.... It is NOT the bug itself that is at issue here. It is the "mistake" of an ENTIRE INDUSTRY relying on a security module with haphazard, proven flawed development process,
