prrgrrmmng
what if we only used markup languages for which it is possible to write a parser in XSLT 1.0 + EXSLT
prrgrrmmng
libxslt has a (configurable) maximum recursion depth of 1500 which does mean that if you can’t reasonably chunk your markup language into smaller pieces than that you can probably only process things which are very small
i bet you could write an efficient djot parser for it though
re: prrgrrmmng
@Lady Next you'll want regexps to be limited to regular languages!
re: prrgrrmmng
@aschmitz i mean yeah, regular expression matching can be simple and fast
