<?song version="1.0" name="XSLT" author="Robin Johnson"?>

Young man, there's no need to feel blue
I said, young man, here's a language for you
If your data doesn't look like it ought
There's no need to feel so distraught

Young man, if you're going through hell

It's fun to program in XSLT!
It's fun to program in XSLT!
Every line in your code
Is an XML node
And the program is one big tree

It's fun to program in XSLT!
It's fun to program in XSLT!
It works functionally
And it's side-effect free
And the variables don't vary
</xsl:template>


It's a language like no other you've seen
It's got constructs that will make you turn green
It's recursive as a thing that recurs

<xsl:call-template name="chorus"/>

XSLT!
XSLT!
Young man, young man, there's no need for distress!
Young man, young man, put down that CSS!

XSLT!
XSLT!
XSLT!... etc.
