The fact that it compiles is better the the cursor dude. "It Compiles" is a very low bar to working software.
My thoughts:
1) It's fragile. As xml is so dynamic small changes in the data can mean your transform doesn't work or worse that it does run but doesn't transform to the correct thing anymore
2) Hard to actually make xslt work. Like there are no decent debugging tools the best you'll get is a site you can plug in data and it will auto run the transformation. The devex here is really really poor which is why I'm baffled anyone would build this. As you say it's a transform language so you can't really step through it you just have to run it and see
3) Very hard to test properly. The amount of times something small would change in the data and then the transforms wouldn't work was awful. The "unit testing" we done was produce a bunch of XML and then run the transforms and check the XML. Like I couldn't actually test parts of the transform as I was going
4) Most importantly was maintenance. XSLT seemed to be a write only language as in hardly anyone as able to pickup someone elses transform and figure it out.
The people who liked it normally only used it for toy applications.
Never met a non autistic child who would spit or drool out calpol. I'd take the stuff myself as an adult it tastes brilliant.
> Total culture shock for me, as in Europe the default for children is rectal ingestion (which is probably a culture shock as well for Americans)
Huh are you talking about new born babies or something? I've been to a few different EU countries and you can buy liquid stuff for kids in the chemists. (Spain, france, germany, italy) source me as a child getting the stuff when I was sick abroad and the local doc sold my parents basically some off brand calpol.
So if you're going to off yourself you'd have to stock pile or roam around shops picking up.
There is a not insignificant number of suicides where people just say fck it I'll just kill myself but they don't want to go out to any real bother to do it i.e. they don't pre-plan it it's just spur of the moment. A bottle of kill yo self pills is pretty easy. Cupboard, swallow, drink down some water, die. But having to go out and buy a bunch over a few days or like drive around in your car just buying as many as you can. Like you'd have to look it up to check you're going to buy enough.
Back when that law came in when they didn't reduce the total amount you could buy at one time so if you went in and bought like 10 packs at the supermarket then the person at the till would be like ok this person's going to kill themselves so again that would require a bit of balls from the would be kill yo selfer.
I think you can buy a bottle of like 100 x 500mg for like $20 in the USA. That's like over 2 weeks swigging at the max amount. Like you don't need that many, 3-4 days is enough shouldn't be taking that much of the stuff.
Not throwing any shade just don't want to be suggesting stuff you've already tried.
Many people have lived very long over the years without resorting to that many pills.
Corporate companies are totally baffling Hasbro is no different.
Used AWS Aurora Serverless v2 (MySQL) and it worked pretty good actually never used the postgres version but it's now available.
Also who cares about the binary size unless it's like 15 TB or something why not add a bit more MB to the binary size to get a better alog or whatever.
