Have you folks noticed how the recent stream of #JavaScript-related security issues in browsers has NOT resulted in a call from #Google to expunge #JS from the “web platform” as it was done for #XSLT?

@oblomov What JavaScript-related security issues in browsers? Are you referring the supply-chain attacks in the npm ecosystem?

Also, XSLT is a barely used technology. The implementation in browsers was not maintained. JavaScript is used by almost all websites. Removing it would wreck havoc on the world economy.

Probably you are rage baiting, in which case, mission accomplished. 😂

@bart @oblomov Hundreds of thousands of podcasters (and many of their listeners!) use #xslt to make podcast rss feeds human-readable:

Don't kill my pretty RSS feed (XSLT)

XSLT makes RSS feeds readable for normies. Chrome is removing it by 2026. Here's why that matters for podcasters and the open web.
