There are other XSLT applications, which achieve good speed and are quite
readable.
For example, do have a look at the FXSL Calculator:
"An XSL Calculator: The Math Modules of FXSL"
http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/articles/xslCalculator/The%20FXSL%20Calculator.h

There are a number of areas, in which the application of the functional
programming library FXSL has been useful and some of these may seem a little
bit exotic (numerical methods, text processing and spelling checking, random
number generation, etc.):
