XML is like democracy, anything else that tries to replace it, does a lousy job getting comments, schema validation, streaming parser libraries and IDE tooling.

May I be safe from React as much as possible.

In any case, Composer just hit stable for all of those Kotlin lovers.



Maybe XML could be the right tool for some jobs, it's just that the entire industry have searched for these jobs for the past two decades, and very few have turned up.

In other words, it's a solution looking for a problem, and it's still looking.

GUI construction? XML is the wrong tool here again, but not for lack of trying. Tech powerhouses Google and Microsoft got caught up in the hype as well. The results, the Android API and XAML, speak for themselves, negatively.

No it's not. Please don't bring politics into technical discussions, it clouds your judgement.


Everything is about politics.

I advise reading about technology sales practices.
