The way you phrase that, I get the impression you think that's a
terrible thing, or that I should think it's a terrible thing.
It depends.
Don't get me wrong: I want XML/XSLT to grow and flourish. On the other
hand, I don't have to think Javascript and JSON are bad things. On the
contrary, I think they help to relieve the pressure on XML/XSLT to be
everything to everybody.
If it's a positive choice - JSON is right for my project. Fine.
If it's a negative choice - XML/XSLT sucks therefore I choose json...
then it's not a good thing.
Note it's not just Ja/Js. it could be Py/XML Ruby/XML. Same
considerations apply.
Choosing a technology is really just choosing which set of problems
you want to live with.
Indeed, but not all technologies get cut the same amount of slack.
There are embedded agenda's and prejudices at play. As I said in the
other thread you are already facing an uphill task with XSLT anyway.
