NiceXSL: XSL without the screwy syntax
by Kevin Dangoor
Ned Batchelder clued me (and his hordes of other readers) in to NiceXSL. I’ve always found XSL to be annoying, not because it’s declarative but because it has a nasty syntax. NiceXSL has a far more natural (for a programmer) syntax that is translated directly into XSL. It looks like the current implemention is in Java.

It’ll never catch on… because they use whitespace to represent the structure. Who would use a language like that?
PXSL does actually look almost like a generalized form of NiceXSL. However, NiceXSL does go farther in cleaning up XSL syntax.
