The reaction on the oXML list (where I heard about it) to this Slashdot article was brusk, but then again, Slashdot folk haven't taken kindly to the proposal, either. But I think there's something to it: a programming language written in XML that can be accessed through intuitive interfaces corresponding to your favorite source code editor. As Wilson writes, "next-generation programming systems will store source code as XML, rather than as flat text. Programmers will not see or edit XML tags; instead, their editors will render these models to create human-friendly views, just as web browsers render HTML."
