Continuing the discussion from Lucee Lang Namespace, why and if so what?:
So much discussion was given to the tag prefix and whether or not it should be more or less XML-compliant, etc… I want to throw this out there as a potential different direction entirely. What if the angle-bracket tags were dropped for brace tags? IDK, it feels more, template-y to me, which seems to be the consensus as to what tags should be used for (i.e. view templates). I’ve seen similar suggestions, not sure if they have gone entirely this direction before though…
{!: index.lucee, this is a comment btw... }
