Seriously though, spring configurations are written in XML and you create variables, call functions, and have control flow. Effectively turning XML into a horrible twisted shadow of a programming language.
All in the name of “configurability” through dependency injection.
XML is the second worst programming language ever created by humans
I’m gonna need a bell curve hooded figure meme template of this comment, this is comedy gold.
It’s a markup language, not a programming language.
Like yaml/toml
The one benefit of toml is that nobody creates a programing language over it.
Heh. Any day though, right? I can’t wait to see an excited presentation on code-free coding in YAML…
Github Actions have entered the chat.
Thanks. I hate that you’re right.
Tell that to SOAP.
Yo dawg, I heard you like XML over HTTP so I put XML over HTTP in your XML over HTTP.
Whoosh

So if you take XML, pervert it beyond recognition, cut off it’s balls and one hand, then it’s somehow it’s fault that it sucks?
Spring moved away from XML ages ago. I work on a 6 year old Spring project and it has never had a single line of XML in it.
