Laugh all you want, but I genuinely believed that XML standards, yes those 'design by committee' standards like XForms, XProc, XPath/XQuery 3.0+ and just general web standards like XHTML 2.0 could've been the future and a backbone of something that a lot of people could use and not just as customers.
Not by writing XML by hand without proper tools, but using something built upon this, on an extensible, inter-operated web. Think using modern XMPP for messaging, instead of a zoo of messaging apps that can't talk to each other or Yahoo Pipes on steroids. But that's not the universe we live in and that's not the no-code we're talking about.
