Hello everyone,
I've been working on SDL support for DUB and wanted to get
some people's opinions on whether we should really use SDL.
I've posted my thoughts here:
http://forum.rejectedsoftware.com/groups/rejectedsoftware.dub/thread/2263/
Please no custom markup languages when existing ones are good
enough.
Are they good enough really? I've tested it all.
- SDL is _whitespace sensitive_ and have a date data-type which
complicate the parser for little good. Lack of parsers ensues.
I believe whitespace sensitivity is a Good Thing for
human-readable formats. Date type is annoying but simply omitting
its support sounds more reasonable than going with brand new
format.
