Uh, you are aware that PostScript _is_ a programming language? In
contrast, PDF is a file format. That's why there are rather few
programs working with or displaying PostScript (you always need a
full-blown interpreter with unknown performance requirements for any
particular file and a file may well hang) and a plethora of PDF
viewers/processor.
As far as I can tell, SVG is, just like PDF, a file format. There is no
programming language included and we don't write code in it like it is
done in ps/music-drawing-routines.ps .
So please don't go overboard with presenting things as being in the same
problem class when they aren't.
