funny. That's not too far from code that I write in Quixote w/ some
extra functions:
template page(request):
header(title("blah"))
body(hl("bleh"),
p(("foo",
a(href="...","bar")),
"baz"
)
note that template is the Quixote part, which removes the need for
unsightly prints =)
My vote on the notion is that I want to know what good macros people
would write, and then implement them in a non-macro fashion. The lock
or connection examples to me indicate a possible language addition which
boils down to something nice and essential (in the meaning of 'of the
essence'). Macros in their generality scare me.
