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.

What if Scheme were the default scripting language of the web, and SexpML were the default markup language? Imagine all the money Mozilla would have thrown at it. Imagine the faster-than-C JIT compilers. Imagine the amount of libraries it would have. Imagine all the people using it for their epic Reddit clones!

Wait a minute, that last thing sounds awful. Writing a browser from scratch is a better idea. Hopefully Hacker Jews won't hear about it.
