I recently had to work with XSLT (may it's inventor burn in hell for their crimes).

That's pretty much programming in XML. It's probably the worst possible thing.

XSLT is fine

If you have a program generate it

Sadly, it was done manually. I had to migrate it to this brand new bleeding edge technology, Apache Velocity. That's not great either, but it's much less terrible than XSLT.

For that task I had to learn two templating languages at the same time to port it from one to the other. Wasn't an easy task.

Pff. I know someone who generated programs using XSLT.
