Could be. Could also be done iteratively, though.
And what's wrong with recursion anyway?

It looks a bit like XSLT to me. Written in XML? Check. Supports recursion? Check. Anything written in it is an abomination? Triple-check.

At least it's not iterative?

The only thing wrong about recursion is the only thing wrong about recursion is the only thing wrong about recursion is...

Dunno, that sounds.... recursive

It's a chance for Carla to show off.

Praveen: PHP doesn't have everything in angle brackets. Plus, I can see some XML namespacing on the second line.

Remember Carla's description she gave Lucy? I think Ruth is just one of the lucky ones.

I know very little about coding (got a B or C in Freshman C 7 years ago), but Transistor's NG+ is called a recursion, so I'm A-OK with them. Also because this is hilarious. And we found out that Ruth is one of the very few people to whom Carla is nice.

Hey, nothing wrong with recursion. Sometimes it's the elegant solution.

I assumed, because of the "<?", that it's PHP

I'm choosing to believe Carla just threw whatever bullshit popped into her head, like 'Hmmmmm, what would REALLY piss them off? Oh! I know! Mash up XML and a bunch of other stuff, make it recursive and what the hell? I'll make sure the schemata is off just enough to drive them nuts.'

Might be a fictional language.

I'm offended that you just called XML a coding language, but impressed that you wrote bad recursion in it.
Borg Lord

Now I'm trying to figure out what language the code Carla wrote is in. It looks like XML, but that's a <i>markup</i> language, not a <i>coding</i> language.
Oh, God, I'd be right behind Amber and Rachel with a marker in my hand...
Packy Anderson
2019-02-07 21:38:52 +0000 UTC
huh. Turns out Carla can be helpful without much being in it for her.
Or is this her owning Ruth by being helpful too. ;)

*Carla leads Ruth to a nearby junkyard*
"Carla, I said Rachel AND Amber, not Rachel Amber!"
