Occassionally, you ignore something for too long. Apparently, RTML is one of these things. RTML is the retard cousin that XML and HTML keep locked in the attic.

For some incredibly stupid reason, Yahoo Stores uses RTML. God only knows . . . after all, what we really need in addition to JS, Flash, Java, straight CGIs, ASP, JSP, and so forth is a completely useless mark-up language that looks like HTML and BASIC got drunk and tried to make a kid.

So, does anyone here use RTML?

Someone asked me about it; and I have to admit, I am only vaguely aware of it. It never looked too hard to learn, so I didn't piss around in a fit of "Oh gosh, better learn this before someone asks!"

That's an extremely accurate label for it... 'HTML and BASIC got drunk and tried to make a kid'. It's a really screwed up mix of the two. Ick.

That is exactly what I mean. We already have Perl/PHP and Java/JS to manage damn near anything you can do on a website. Toss in a little SQL and ASP for those who want it, and straight CGI for the hard core programmers and the people who need very specific needs, and there really is no logic to RTML, except to maybe create a slightly less intimidating language for the folks who can barely handle HTML.

Eventually, it all creates the same stuff: HTML tags. Why add more to the mix?

Anyone who can't handle CSS and Perl and so forth, really shouldn't be running an on-line store as it is.

We can't stop here! This is bat country!
