gollark: Anyway, good XML replacements:JSON: for the information interchange format sort of job.CBOR: maybe for application data files, it's basically binary JSON.TOML: configuration files.An actual programming/scripting language e.g. Lua: really complex configuration, game data/modding stuff, maybe markup-type things.
gollark: Well, it's okay, TOML is better.
gollark: Even more worserfuller: CSS.
