xpath is just really nice to work with and a little bit more useful than css selectors

I had long been trying to port libxml2 to #golang, but with some help from AI agents, now I have a fairly complete xml toolkit for Go: github.com/lestrrat-go/.... Supports XML parsing/DOM building, SAX, XPath 3.1, XSLT 3.0, XSD, etc. It's still alpha, but would love some feedback.

Rust actually does need generic mutability like quite a lot, you don't realize it, until you try to implement something like XPath and realize you need to either use unsafe pointers or copy the whole query logic twice

Yes this proved out. My suggestion for a common tree-addressing language became XPath.

one of the things i'm resisting to here (although it is tempting) is some kind of a light templating language. then a lot more could be expressed through records alone, and maybe some horrible xpath. i try not to go there mostly because that somehow worked out for react and can be done in userland
ok so you've probably noticed i'm doing a terrible thing there and breaking the lexicon convention. the lexicon convention for procedures is com.example.verbNoun, but i'm doing com.example.Noun which is warned against in the style guide
thanks everyone for the warm welcome @atproto.london! here's my demo of Inlay from today. code not ready for release yet but i'll try to get it to a releasable stage over the next weeks

I like @lloydi.com’s XPath Getter bookmarklet (updated today):

But that’s because I find XPath easier for me to grok _and_ paste back into dev tools to find the node I want:
adrianroselli.com/2021/04/xpat...
Also, I tend to hand-roll my XPath because I am That Guy.
