[DUG] Scripting languages

[Jeremy Coulter]

 So....I am going to guess here....no one has any experience positive or 
negative with the TMS Scripting Studio?

Just because software is poorly designed, doesn't mean to say the language 
is crap.  I've seen plenty of poorly written Delphi code, parts of the VCL 
included, and we all know Delphi is far from crap.  osCommerce IS the 
abomination, not PHP.

Just like in ASP / JSP, embedding HTML is only an option.  You don't have to 

use it.  Personally, I generate all my HTML through XSLT.  All my code needs 

to do is create the right XML data structure and the presentation is all in 
XSLT.
