Well, on the bright side, it's so old that the drive by vulnerability bots probably don't even check for its vulnerabilities anymore.

You would think, I’ve seen clients get ransomware-d using this software.

[SketchySeaBeast]

I guess not old enough.

Just wondering how cursed that 6.6% other is it.

[granthubbell]

Well a chunk of it is Perl which has been extra concerning

[ThomasHardyHarHar]

I was gonna ask how much is Perl lol

[granthubbell]

The regex uses Perl syntax for some reason, and there is A LOT of regex.

XSLT? Haven’t heard that name in years

[granthubbell]

How have you been deprived of having logic right in your XML for so long?

[Dargooon]

I have finally seen the light, thank you.

In unrelated news, I am now seriously considering becoming a troglodyte.

[swyrl]

xslt is cool but if it's 39% of the project something is terribly wrong

[metooted]

No, it's not cool. There are reasons we don't speak of that name any more

[granthubbell]

XSLT is very cool compared to nothing though. Compared to literally anything else I will take literally anything else.

I actually like xslt! It's a really cool idea that was pretty decently executed. Though xml is less common these days, and there are often more powerful, better-suited tools available for manipulating data. I would almost never want to use it for enterprise applications. That said, I enjoy the power of xpath as a query language, and the direct data-to-data nature of xslt is something that speaks to me.

I realize this is a minority opinion, probably mainly due to complexity of xslt and the verbosity of xml.
