Overview:

A database programmer who had spent some time working with an early XQuery implementation, once referred to the language as the smiley language. When the author asked whether that had to do with the simplicity of the language, the programmer replied in Hungarian-accented English, "Oh, no, the language itself is a bear, but they made the comment delimiters into smileys (: :) to make one smile even as the database gets thrashed." While not exactly a ringing indictment of the language, his comments served to highlight the fact that while XQuery has a structure similar to most languages have, the differences can trip one up dramatically.
