DSSL. XSLT. Right.
[1] The original quote (by Alan Perlis) goes about Pascal, but I think
we can confidently substitute Java as a worthi (if uglier) successor:
"[Scheme and Pascal] It would be difficult to find two languages
that are the communicating coin of two more different cultures
than those gathered around these two languages. Pascal is for
building pyramids -- imposing, breathtaking, static structures
built by armies pushing heavy blocks into place. Lisp is for
building organisms [...]"
You need a lot of slaves to build pyramids (yeah, I know: strictly
speaking, the pyramid builders weren't slaves, but hey).
