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.

But do you know why? M-expressions make the code readable.
Readability is the last thing you want if you are trying to convince people that Lisp has magical properties and is the only language that can be used for AI.

That's also why they killed LISP 2. Nobody will believe that AI can arise from something they understand.
