Hey there Bohdan, If I could present XML/XSLT in a "sweeter" form, but maintaining the meaning and power of the language, sure, why not? I take all my teaching/learning cues from Seymour Papert mate, and he created LOGO... Anyway, pointers are more than welcome. Hugs and thanks again for all the replies guys. <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 8:07 PM, <<a href="mailto:kbohdan@mail.ru">kbohdan@mail.ru</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d"> Eduardo Bellani wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I'm looking at sweet-expressions not as a way for me to learn scheme more easily (that would be cool, but it's not my main goal), but to teach it/showcase it to other people, because what I think the "problem" sweet-expressions fix is the readability of the code, which for me (and I'm pretty sure for my target audience, consisted of ruby/java/c++ and some python guys, too), is somewhat hard to read. </blockquote> </div> Assuming that most of "java ... python" guys are forced to use XML&XSLT: Do you think that representing XML/XSLT in a "sweet" form to promote learning it is a good idea ? -- Bohdan _________________________________________________  For list-related administrative tasks:  <a href="http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme" target="_blank">http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme</a> </blockquote></div> -- Eduardo Bellani <a href="http://www.cnxs.com.br">www.cnxs.com.br</a> "What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow men.
