POML (Prompt Orchestration Markup Language) is Microsoft's new markup language for structured prompt engineering with Large Language Models. It features HTML-like syntax with semantic components, comprehensive data handling for various file types, CSS-like styling system, built-in templating engine, and development tools including VS Code extension and SDKs for Node.js and Python. POML aims to solve common prompt development challenges by providing better structure, maintainability, and data integration capabilities.

microsoft/poml: Prompt Orchestration Markup Language

Interesting idea. And not that we couldn’t find uses for a structured way to construct prompts - e. g. merging a database resultset into an XML prompt template. I hope they learn from WSDL (and all BS WS-*) vs REST and JSON. Don’t over engineer. Make it simple to adopt. Support a simple schema-based validation. Allow for extension elements. And expand the SDK languages.

somebody’s gonna mess around and reinvent human programming as a wrapped layer on top of ai

so you use xml / custom tags and you call it a new language? wtf!

Just can’t remeber so much tags to create the workflow as I want. &lt;stepwiseInstructions&gt;, &lt;xxx for=“inst in instructions” /&gt;… I can’t tell the future.

Whats with the obsession with &lt;&gt; tags. Yaml or Toml should be the only markup languages used.
