In this article
(http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/archive/msg07336.html), Clark
Evans claims that XSLT is too slow or too memory intensive because it is a
functional language.
He suggests adding Hashtables to XSLt to improve performance. Is this
really necessary? Is the problem functional programming or something
broken in the design of the XSLt lanuage?
Backround: XSLt is a functional programming language designed to process
XML documents. It is still in the draft stage. When it becomes a
standard, XSLt functional programming is likely to be one of the dominant
forms of Internet programming. We are already using XSLt here to manage
generating the site.
