OS is a browser.
Widgets and apps scripted in JS, with xml-based forms (qt, gtk and win).
JS has already taken server-side too (node.js, meteor got $14M).

Yes, that would indeed be the ultimate nightmare.

This is what I DON'T want to see. A poorly designed language combined with shitty SGML-based markup to half-ass reimplement widgets that have normal native counterparts using CSS styling hacks. The Age of Enlightenment Indeed.
Plus, you're suggesting we then use the same shit language as the backbone for the servers. Lovely.
I feel like anything gained in systems programming in the last 30 years is all going down the drain to be replaced with bloated fuckery like this.

I'll have to look into that, but I still see no reason for forcing mock UIs to be the norm in a document markup language. There really needs to be a simplified UI language put in place for interacting with a generic UI toolkit that the browser provides (that uses native widgets).
Missing a quote.
You can translate every pair of () to divs, and the symbols to CSS classes... Not much different than the usual pile of shit HTML.
I've always tried to make work colleagues give a chance to xml+xlst, but now I surrender... to lisp.

Racket's servlets uses this kind of notation exclusively for its output format, though the head symbol of every list is always the HTML element, it wouldn't be hard to expand non-html names to `(div ((class ,name)) . ,rest) with a substitution function.

No need to parse-replace it to anything, just define the functions in a Lisp of your choice and give it that as the input.
Using Lisp sexps to generate HTML is nothing new.
I should write a Javascript-to-native-code compiler. Then rewrite the fucking thing in Javascript, compile that, and thus have a self-hosting Javascript compiler in Javascript! Hipsters will just line up to suck my dick.

AsmXml does not supports namespaces and external entity references. The file has to be fully loaded into memory
You can't parse a file over 4Gb.

i dont know why you guys hate on javascript it basically powers the web seems lkie most other stuff is just legacy (assembly)
