via Copia | Follow-up post from Uche on some of my recent comments

Copia

The conversation continues about the boundary between traditional presentation languages such as XSLT and XML toolkits in traditional application languages such as Python. See earlier installments "Sane template-like output for Amara" and "Why allow template-like output for Amara?". M. David Peterson, the mind behind XSLT blog responded to the latter post, and his response deserves a post of its own:

While I am still trying to get caught up on things I am just now reading this post from Uche in which he follows-up a comment I posted in regards to a post he made regarding when to implement an XSLT-based solution and when its best to implement the solution in a much more general purpose language like Python or even further by the XML processing library for Python, the Amara toolkit.

I've left some comments on this last post so I won't worry about repeating them here. It may take some time for Uche to approve them but most of you won't read this until tomorrow anyway so I think I should be safe :)

Thanks again for the nod in my general direction Uche! Coming from you that really means a lot :)
