My personal bet is that blockchains will be like XML: a technology that was going to be The FUTURE for a while, got put into a bunch of things...

That's an outstanding analogy, one I had not considered before, but certainly XML is far less..err...includable is perhaps the word(?)... into a software project then a blockchain-based datastore and verification would be, right?

Let's just hope a XSLT-like companion to the blockchain is never developed...

Intresting! They strike me as equally includable. It's easy enough to do XML-based persistence, or XML-based messaging between nodes of a distributed system.

Indeed, Jabber, an XML-based protocol, is seeing new life as a big IOT protocol. My cheap robot vacuum spends its day hanging out in a chatroom and communicating via XML, for example.
