The fact that I find this exciting reveals what an utter geek I am, but today I stumbled on Naxos, an XSLT 1.0 processor implemented in XSLT. Language compilers/interpreters implemented in their own language are nothing new of course, but it always has some "wow" factor.As the Naxos web page states, Naxos is slow. But, it's encouraging that it does work:
~/Desktop/naxos$ xsltproc samples/country.xml
Here are the countries I know about:
Australia
France
Germany
India
Ireland
Japan
~/Desktop/naxos$ xsltproc naxos.xsl samples/country.xml
Here are the countries I know about:
Australia
France
Germany

Hi kazoolist,
I am the developer of Naxos. I think you may be the only person who has run it under xsltproc. I'm astonished that it works, because I developed and tested Naxos entirely with Saxon.
Says something about the power of a well-implemented standard, I guess.
