These people need to find REBOL!

I was looking through old technology links and
found this XML based product I was checking
out some time ago.
Seems they are now going open source and
have taken their XML technology and are
heading towards "Words".

Talk about going at it the long way around! :-)
Enjoy, Rod.

This article is kind of like placing a shill in the audience. Once again, I
see that REBOL is ahead of the game! Thanks for sharing the link.

I like Larry Wall's quote I found in there,
This is important, and a little hard
to understand. English is useful
because its a mess. Since
English is a mess, it maps well
onto the problem space, which is
also a mess, which we call
reality.
--Larry Wall, "2nd State of the Onion"
He must have invented PERL to deal with his interpetation of reality!

You're welcome.
I think it does a good job of illustrating what Carl has said
about the complexity of the problem and how the XML vision
doesn't quite make it all the way there.

But I am not sure XML was the point - see the side-note describing MS .NET.
I think that author wanted to express, that ability to creaty myriad of
sub-languages can lead to mess, being it XML based (.NET), or dialect based
(Rebol).
Of course, dialecting is pretty much a free form ...
