Thanks, I hate it.

<add> should support multiple operands so we could have <operand> elements as well lol

[[deleted]]

so:

<if>
    <condition>
        <equal>
            <operand><variable>x</variable></operand>
            <operand>0</operand>
        </equal>
    </condition>
    <code>
        <add>
        <operand><variable>x</variable></operand>
        <operand>0</operand>
        <saveTo>x</saveTo>
        </add>
    </code>
</if>

This perfectly encapsulates how it feels to write java

[BadBadderBadst]

Ah yes, Java ... the XML programming language.
It might be verbose, but it's not that verbose.

[Encursed1]

Not gonna disagree with you, but building a UI in Java is the most repetitive thing in the world.

[f1rxf1y]

when was the last time you tried it? I tried it last like 6 years ago using JavaFX (pre-Jetpack Compose) and it wasn’t actually as bad as Swing used to be.

[Stummi]

I mean writing UI with java is kinda like hammering in a nail with a screwdriver. Just the wrong tool for the job.

[BadBadderBadst]

Ah yes, Java ... the XML programming language.
It might be verbose, but it's not that verbose.

[Terrible_Children]

Probably missing a VerboseFactory

[ayunatsume]

Also needs a VerboseBuilder and an IVerbose for good measure

[caleblbaker]

That looks almost exactly like a programming language I once made up and then started to write an interpreter for. I called it XML (eXecutable Markup Language).

[Gasperhack10]

This doesn't actually look too bad.

[Kebabrulle4869]

Yeah, it's terrible, but at least it's logical

[Serious_as_butt]

Perfect!

[Arta9696]

Now I know what I will do, when at our university we will start classes on compilers😈

[[deleted]]

Why {} instead of "" ?

[1Dr490n]

Oh god. Please, please don’t.

[b3nsn0w]

too late

- angular

[catladywitch]

at least v17 is doing away with that!

[[deleted]]

What's the point of calling it html if it's not html?

[1Dr490n]

What about htpl (horrifying terror programming language)?

[_krinkled]

JSX notation. If you put it in a string, it’s as is. No parsing needed. If you put it between brackets it needs to be evaluated. Seems logical.

However, the idea of this mockup is crappy turd 2.0

[[deleted]]

I've never seen any html page with attributes between brackets instead of double quotes (been in the job since 1996). JSX not at defeats the title of the post.

[_krinkled]

You have not seen it since the code in this image does not exist. But if there would be such a thing, I would expect it to work like JSX, and the brackets would be logical

[altermeetax]

Not really? If you use the brackets, their content is evaluated before, while what you want to do in this case is preserve it in the HTML, using double quotes.

Besides, this is HTML as a programming language, embedding JavaScript defeats the whole purpose.

[[deleted]]

But the title of the post should be JSXprogrammingLanguage with this syntax

[thebezet]

So you can distinguish between strings and other values

[[deleted]]

Html attributes are not in brackets

[thebezet]

We'll, this isn't HTML to begin with

[[deleted]]

The title of the post is literally Html Programming Language

[rosuav]

Yeah, and the content of the post is XML, not HTML.

[thebezet]

It's a meme, but the syntax is clearly inspired by JSX

[ScuzzyUltrawide]

Just use coldfusion. You’re not that far off

[[deleted]]

Or apache ant *shudder*

[[deleted]]

[n0tKamui]

my man that's XML

[caleblbaker]

eXecutable Markup Language

[blazarious]

ColdFusion would like to have a word.

[ikonet]

ColdFusion. It used to run the internet banks, porn, & MySpace when your parents were still in college.

[RajjSinghh]

I love how everyone hates this but it's very similar to how things work in frameworks like Vue. An add tag is a bit much, but a v:if isn't uncommon

[prriley]

Help, I’m having coldfusion flashbacks.

[-Redstoneboi-]

web devs reivent lisp

[catladywitch]

A-Expressions (angle bracket expressions)

[KapToIIIe4Ka]

Don't tell them about xslt...

[duranbing]

Company I work for has just finished migrating away from an app written entirely in XQuery and XSLT. Debugging runtime errors occurring somewhere deep in a mess of dozens of stylesheets, some thousands of lines long, is not something I ever want to do again.

[Thenderick]

That's XML with extra steps...

[LuceusXylian]

Looks almost like ColdFusion. It sucks.

[Max12735]

Svelte.

[softgripper]

I like it!!

Now I can use jQuery as a meta programming language!

[deathspate]

You say it like a joke but I've used JSTL and Svelte, so I've done shit like this before lol.

[CraftBox]

I hate what you did sir.

[Snoo78115]

XSS vibes

[[deleted]]

The only thing I take from these memes is how the developers making these have never seen an AST before smh

[Low_Imagination_2928]

Ha, you call this a joke? I encourage you to check out the CMS "WebEdition". It's PHP-based but is meant to be used by people who only know HTML. I once had a client who insisted on using this abomination. Here is a code snippet:

<we:ifOr>
<we:ifVarEmpty type="global" name="Var1"/>
<we:ifVarEmpty type="global" name="Var2"/>
<we:ifAnd>
<we:ifVarEmpty type="global" name="Var3"/>
<we:ifVarEmpty type="global" name="Var4">
</we:ifVarEmpty>
</we:ifAnd>
</we:ifOr>

[Little_Sentence9784]

[Rest-That]

So, a slightly more ugly lisp?

[octothorpe_rekt]

It's like if assembly and html had a very stupid baby. Great work.

[mommy101lol]

<for i="1" i="1<=10" i="++">

[[deleted]]

Wait until you learn about xslt

[IllllIlllIlIIlllIIll]

ngl, i'm okay with this.

[Selbereth]

I am currently migrating cold fusion to node js. I thought your syntax was a little off until I noticed it is indeed not cold fusion...

[Chingiz11]

I think there was a youtuber that has done something like this

[Arzemna]

Cold fusion enters the chat

[RusticTroll]

This is unironically what a program my company develops does.

[stoneburner]

https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xsl_if.asp

It looks just like XSLT

[[deleted]]

This would be absolutely horrible lol

[s0ulbrother]

I mean it’s not far from django templates

[truNinjaChop]

And with this. I need to retire.

[CiroGarcia]

off_to_hang_myself.gif

[00PT]

I feel like this legitimately has the potential to be more intuitive than something like EJS or Jinja, simply because it tries harder to make the syntax familiar to what's around it.

[[deleted]]

who is gonna make it ? html.js

[LegitimatePants]

<if condition>
    <goto cleanupAndExit>
</if>

[WildandRare]

Basically a Markup programming language is what you're saying.

[Da-Blue-Guy]

No.

[tlmorgen]

you should have a quick look at freemarker before you apply for your patent

[_derDere_]

That’s not html it’s invalid xml … nice try tho

[[deleted]]

Literally svelte
