thanks a lot for all theses informations, and forgive me for not doing such an extensive search myself :-)
Its not a touchy subject, no subjects, as long as they are within the topic of the list are supposed to be touchy, (except for adding things to the sitemap maybe ;) ). Just wanted to point out that we have discussed it before. If you want to take up the dsicussion again, that's fine with me. If you or someone else would like to make XSLT easier to use as template language, I would be happy to help with design discussions. But I have lost my interest in pushing for or implementing such a thing.Might be, and I argued for both the XSLT and Yelly solution before, but
I have changed my mind as it wasn't that easy in practice.
yeah, that's right. The best solutions seems to be the less achievable. I don't want to throw oil on fire if this is such a touchy subject.
The XSLT development the last few years have IMHO, been disapointing from an open source POV. Saxon is cool, but Michael Kay have decided to only add schema awarness and some other interesting things to the commersial variant of Saxon. Xalan seem to be more about bug fixing the current version than about developing XSLT 2 or other new ideas. I haven't seen any design discussions at xalan-dev for years.
I'm working on refactoring JXTG so that it will be easier to support and develop. I'm aware about that you have access the request object etc differently depending on if you are using flow or not and also that the eval tag is less well designed. What more weird behaviours are you thinking of?I'm quite happy with jxtemplate (apart 3 or 4 weird behaviors)
Yeah, that sucks. One of the reasons for focusing on JXTG and not something new is that we didn't want to tell the existing users of JXTG that it was time to learn a new template language again.and i'm quite realistic about our job on xml too (learn another dialect every week and waiting for the one :-)...
