I recently had to work with XSLT (may it’s inventor burn in hell for their crimes).
That’s pretty much programming in XML. It’s probably the worst possible thing.

Sadly, it was done manually. I had to migrate it to this brand new bleeding edge technology, Apache Velocity. That’s not great either, but it’s much less terrible than XSLT.
For that task I had to learn two templating languages at the same time to port it from one to the other. Wasn’t an easy task.

Can’t even imagine. I’ve got fed up by the short time I had to configure Maven in plain xml…

Yes, there is: https://github.com/takari/polyglot-maven
I am just not sure if that’s much better. Maven is just a huge pain in the rear.
