Blaine Buxton delivers again a jewel thru its Positronics vibration blog. He shows us how simple and easy it should be to handle XML documents. Indeed, XML is just a complex and verbose way of representing lists, which have been nicely done since 40 years in any Lisp flavor. Blaine’s implementation of its XML renderer comes back to this simplicity.
I do love that!

I love those languages that are powerful enough to allow you to inovate and get things done in a clean and expressive way.
Regarding XML generation, we’ve followed such approaches in Groovy to be able to output markup, thanks to our metaprogramming facilities. We interpret markup as if it were real method calls, but we trap them through our metaprogramming facilities.
I should have a closer look at SmallTalk some day!
