XSLT is a declarative transformation language for tooling, optimization, and relatively simple tree transformation problems. It is useful when it is appropriate, but is not, and should not become, a full programming language. If you try to look at it as a programming language, or as a full transformation language for that matter, it will fall short. If you look at it for the problems for which it was designed, it is a very powerful, useful, and appropriate language. Just my opinion. -scott "Iyer, Srinivasan (MLIP - PCC)" To: "'XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'" <XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <ISrinivasan@xxxxxxxx cc: (bcc: Scott Boag/CAM/Lotus) L.com> Subject: XSL as a Programming Language Sent by: owner-xsl-list@mulber rytech.com 07/19/2000 12:48 PM Please respond to xsl-list Hello, I had read this article http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/07/12/vbasic/vbdevice.html#replace a couple of days back and was wondering if people on this group also feel that xslt could replace traditional programming languages. I am kindof at my adolescent stage with xslt and am trying to get a better understanding of how XSLT fits into the whole picture now and ahead. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
