Is there a reason you prefer Relax NG over XML schema for the purpose of writing data structures? You've probably already read this, but it's a very elegant algorithm for validating Relax NG. http://www.thaiopensource.c

Haskell is a great language. But there are large codebases out there in C++. Porting those is often not feasible. Yet, Haskell can serve as a great inspiration of how to write clean code. C++ does not have the limitations/strictness of

I use the term 'metaprogramming' because that's the title of the relevant chapter in Stroustrups 'The C++ programming language'. I do think that 'C++ metaprogamming' is a bit clunky, but 'C++ template

For WebODF, we also use GitHub because WebODF is a JavaScript project and there are many JavaScript programmers on GitHub. I'm also a member of the KDE community as is boud with the Krita project. But KDE was traditionally more a C++ c

I've also been using Qt for a long time and I've seen it go from Qt 1 to Qt 5. KDE is desktop of choice and would look very different today without Qt. If there was no Qt, there'd probably be no KDE and hence no GNOME and GTK

That story scares me more than the robocalypse. Is this just a concentration of certain personalities or are people created with such personalities now?

This looks very polished for a 0.1 alpha. The mGSD [1] which the author used previously looks very interesting too. Since this implementation of GTS uses Git, I expect it to gain functionality for syncing with a git repository soon. [1] ht

WebODF simply loads the ODF xml as is and adds CSS to make it render well. This means that no information is lost. The same approach does not work well with OOXML which makes it harder to write a similar library for those formats. For the b
