  XHP extension for PHP

  

It’s cool that you can express this sort of structure in Lisp without any change to the language. This contrasts to extensions to other languages that allow an XML-like syntax. For example JSX for JavaScript [1], XHP for PHP [2], and XML Literals for VB.NET[3].

  Discontinued A jekyll-esque static site generator with the power of Clojure. (by askonomm)

This is neat. I actually built a static site generator[0] that uses Clojure for the templating language, and that enables me to do some things like build my own RSS feed [1] or a custom archive front page [2]. Pretty happy with this over Handlebars or the like to be honest.

Yes, using anylisp as a anything templating engine. I love this stuff.

It's not as ideal, but you can even get away with this in Python using comprehensions and functions. Any language with nested data structure literals will do. Really, any expression language.

Here's a Python version: https://github.com/dgoffredo/dgoffredo.github.io/blob/master...

and a Javascript version: https://github.com/dgoffredo/llama/blob/master/llama/xml.js

...and as others have said, Scheme has "sxml," which I use here: https://github.com/dgoffredo/xsd-gc

  4 133 0.0 Common Lisp

  C language syntax in Common Lisp

Lisp has served as an inspiration to so many programming language designs, Javascript included, that saying a language feature isn't really unique to Lisp is a bit like saying that The Lord of the Rings is just a bunch of fantasy clichés. It's true in some sense, but it also conveys a deeply flawed understanding.

Here[1] is a fun example of what's possible that would be difficult to do in many other languages without essentially just giving up and dumping the C style code in a string and calling some sort of eval on it and that is very much not the same thing.
