/prog/ - S-expression HTML as Standard

Name: Anonymous 2013-09-17 13:25

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to use opening and closing tags as DA STANDARD for SHITML? Are the people at W3 dumb?

For those who don't know what I'm talking about,
look how ugly and unnecessarily long HTML is.

<html>
<head>MY WEBSITE</head>
<title>MY WEBSITE</title>
<body>
<p>THIS KIND OF MARKUP IS <b><i><u>SHIT QUALITY</u></i></b></p>
</body>
</html>

But compared to the S-expressions

(html   (head "MY WEBSITE")
        (title "MY WEBSITE")
        (body (p "THIS MARKUP IS" (b.i.u "SATORI QUALITY"))))

It looks far cleaner and makes your eyes feel right at home. It's easier to parse and won't take up as a few kilobytes / megabytes (depending on the page) less Internet bandwidth. Sure it has a lot of parenthesis but it's more attractive than the repeating shitstorm of </tags>.

I know there are a lot of implementations to this but there should be one STANDARD to rule them all. The next version of HTML in the standard should be something like this.

I just said the moderns do. Browse some and try 'em. You have also used email with HTML documents and other attachments, right? So much so there are now webmail clients. The stupidity of that is beyond me, but it proves the point: UI for clients can easily adapt the MIME files however they wish, in whatever medium of choice. Heck, even in hotmail and gmail you can view ppt, pdfs, and video!

I know right[i]![/i] We just force them anyways:

To view this page properly, you need to have an SexpML render on your browser. You might want to consider installing one of these:
