Last I heard for WebKit removing it was the only outcome they saw.

Yeah all these billion dollar corporations that can’t be bothered see it as the only path forward not because of technological or practical issues, but because none of them can be asked to give a shit and plan it into their budgets.

They’re MBAs who only know how to destroy and consolidate as trained.

  • I get the frustration but I don’t believe that’s really accurate. It’s not widely used and modern developers don’t see it as valuable.

    • XSLT in the browser was left fundamentally underdeveloped, which is why it is not really widespread.

      XSLT in non-browser contexts is absolutely valuable.

    • I’m a modern developer and I see it as valuable. Why side with the browser teams and ignoring user feedback?

      If “modern developers” actually spent time with it, they’d find it valuable. Modern developers are idiots if their constant cry is “just write it in JS”.

      No idea what’s inaccurate about this. A billion dollar company that has no problem pivoting otherwise, can’t fund open technology “because budgets” is simply a lie.
