    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as wheel, is in fact, GNU/Wheel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus wheel.

      Use the -w flag and the wheel will weave as you will.

          it just had less brackets and <> symbols when they were done.

          Hence making the parser more inefficient than XML?

          It wasn't without some advantage. The client hating it didn't bode well though

            I woulda tried them on JSON. As long as they use an editor that keeps track of nested brackets I think it's much more natural than XML.

              The wheel has had a number of innovations over the years. The earliest wheels were flat disks of wood that were heavy and slow turning. The Romans invented spokes and metal rims which made them faster, more durable, and gave them more traction. Questions we need answered: What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa? Etc. Etc.

              It works fine. It's a perfectly good wheel.

              Hey where is Underwaterbob?

              He's trapped in that Jigsaw room.

              The door is unlocked though?

              Yeah, but there is a wheel in there and UWB won't leave until he figures out if there is a way to improve it.

              Has any one asked him to?

              No

              Will he get paid to improve it?

              No

              What does the wheel do?

              You roll it out of the way so you can exit the room.

                I mean surely it could at least be optimized somewhat...

                  Consumer: It say's here I can subscribe to 'Wheel Pro' for only $69.99/month and I will automatically receive all the latest features the second they come out!

                  Noob: I just use WIMP, it's free and does 99% of what Wheel Pro does. I don't need all those extra features.

                  Consumer: Psh, WIMP is ugly and you can't even adjust the tire pressure by millipascals.

                  Noob: They added that feature in March.

                  Consumer: I NEED IT FOR WORK OK!

                              Put a lock on the wheel and charge people $0.99 to temporarily unlock it.

                                        We'd rather re-create reality where we know everything rather than taking the time to learn how to use a system someone else wrote.

                                        IT and DevOPS does this too.

                                        I worked with a group once that re-invented XML so that non-technical people could create text-based rules instead of writing code. But it ended up with a somewhat rigid naming structure with control characters and delimiters. The non technical people hated it more the actual XML they had used prior.

                                        Re: the not-XML-instead-of-code thing. Eventually, this sort of thing turns into a programming language. It's just like carcinisation. Or you wind up writing ever-more code to support the original design. The environment inevitably creates evolutionary pressure that only if/else and iteration logic can solve, forcing the design ever closer to being Turing-complete.
