XML-Lib – An over-engineered XML workflow with guardrails and proofs
I built XML-Lib, a deliberately over-engineered XML playground that tries to bundle the whole document flow into one repo.

In plain words
XML-Lib is an XML workflow tool that consolidates document processing into a single repository with built-in guardrails and verification mechanisms. Designed for developers and technical teams working with XML documents, it provides an integrated environment for managing the entire document flow. The tool emphasizes thorough validation and structured processes, making it suitable for projects requiring rigorous XML handling and proof-based workflows.

XML-Lib is an over-engineered XML playground with a canonical lifecycle, a guardrail subsystem, Hilbert-backed proofs, and PPTX workflow docs. Use it to trace document phases, reason about enforcement math, and reference detailed presentation pipelines—all in one repository. - farukalpay/xml-lib

Xmloxide – an agent-made Rust replacement for libxml2Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲64Recently several AI labs have published experiments where they tried to get AI coding agents to complete large software projects. - Cursor attempted to make a browser from scratch: https://cursor.com/blog/scaling-agents - Anthropic attempted to make a C Compiler: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler I have been wondering if there are software packages that can be easily reproduced by taking the available test suites and tasking agents to work on projects until the existing test suites pass. After playing with this concept by having…
- IWI wrote a technical history book on LispFeb 2026 · berksoft.ca · ▲252
The book page links to a blog post that explains how I got about it (and has a link to sample content), but the TL&DR is that I could not find a lot of books that were on "our" history _and_ were larded with technical details. So I set about writing one, and some five years later I'm happy to share the result. I think it's one of the few "computer history" books that has tons of code, but correct me if I'm wrong (I wrote this both to tell a story and to learn :-)). My favorite languages are Smalltalk and Lisp, but as an Emacs user, I've been using the latter for much longer and for my…

- IBI Built a XSLT Blog Framework2025 · vgr.land · ▲116
A few weeks ago a friend sent me grug-brain XSLT (1) which inspired me to redo my personal blog in XSLT. Rather than just build my own blog on it, I wrote it up for others to use and I've published it on GitHub https://github.com/vgr-land/vgr-xslt-blog-framework (2) Since others have XSLT on the mind, now seems just as good of a time as any to share it with the world. Evidlo@ did a fine job explaining the "how" xslt works (3) The short version on how to publish using this framework is: 1. Create a new post in HTML wrapped in the XML headers and footers the framework…
