I'm not a lisp user, but I've used xml + xslt to generate xslt that processes xml to xhtml and I liked it ;)

I miss semicolons ;)

And that's why people use NOSQL. It's much more predictable in production use.

What we need is declarative html markup again (JS optional).

CSS also should be optional.

Otherwise, long live adblock, noscript, user stylesheets, ...

Before they announced this, I actually considered getting a Facebook account.

> You are right. The guy that wrote PowerShell says that UNIX is document oriented configuration while windows is API oriented configuration.

That's an interesting way of putting it. I strongly prefer the Unix way then,(just avoid turing complete config languages).

This needs some comment on proper usage (locking, isolation, ...) of these to avoid deadlocks (one thread inserts, other updates at the same time, ...). Without this this incomplete and of limited use.

Does it handle locking (aka no deadlocks) correctly?

I use MSSQL on a current project and really don't like it's query optimizer. It relies too much on statistics which means that slightly complex queries get random behavior really quickly, especially in the beginning as the database if growing.

IMO, completely unsuitable for web apps where DBA is not sitting around 24/7.

Is PostgreSQL better at this?

Exactly. IMO all css/html features that conflict with this should be deprecated and REMOVED from the standard.

How does one use it? Apart from reading view?

Does JIT (or late/deploy time optimize/link) help here? Would it be easier to make deterministic builds when optimizer is not involved?

What I find intolerable on a Mac is the behavior of ctrl+left/right. I expect it to jump to previous/next word and nothing else.

Can it link to torrent?

Unfortunately, 'localhost' is not multiuser safe. So a better (cross browser!) alternative would be OK.
