XML and Java have the same sort of flavor to them: they’re reasonably good and very widely used; they’re the sort of product that design committees everywhere aspire to create. Their flaws only really become visible after something better comes along. In Java’s case, Python demonstrated that a whole lot of the structure and required text that gives Java code its rigidity can be stripped away, leaving a language that’s a joy to develop in. However, there hasn’t been an analogous improvement on XML.
