  • markup

    MARKUP provides a reader-macro to read HTML tags inside of Common Lisp code (by moderninterpreters)

    • Let me give you an example. In PHP, Facebook wanted the ability to write HTML inside PHP code, so they built that feature into their PHP compiler (and through some series of steps eventually became HHVM, which isn't technically considered PHP anymore, but I digress). Similarly, they wanted that feature for Javascript so they modified their compiler to support that. I've worked for Facebook, and I loved that feature and missed it when I left. So I built that for Lisp: I just wrote a reader macro without changing the compiler, and I had a working implementation in a day's work. (Btw, the library is here: https://github.com/moderninterpreters/markup)
