It is 98 > far too complex to be implemented in one program with the Unix philosophy in mind. 99 > But like the web, you have to deal with it. It is the only open 100 > and widely used instant messaging protocol on the internet. 101 > Its extensibility is the main reason that an implementation in a single 102 > program is nearly impossible. This talk described an approach to master this problem. 103 104 Video: 105 106 [](//dl.suckless.org/slcon/2015/slcon-2015-07-klenkow-simple_jabber.webm) 107 108 109 (11:30-12:00) *Finite state document processing*, Manu Raster 110 111 > Mainstream XML processing techniques wastefully consume time 112 > and memory for example in file format conversions popularly 113 > known as 'save as...'.
