"XML is a classic political compromise: it balances the needs of man and machine by being equally unreadable to both"
-- Matthew Might
In other words: XML combines the efficiency of text files with the readability of binary files...
@fribbledom I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here, but it seems to me that you don't quite like XML.
Actually, I like it in the same sense that I really do like C++. Both are incredibly powerful, but also spiraled a bit out of control.
@61 No worries, I'm sure twenty years from now I'll say the same kind of things about JSON, TOML, YAML and half a dozen other *ONs and *MLs 😂
