Reflections

  • The programming paradigm

    • Good fit between functional programming and descriptive markup

    • Similar work is well-represented in the functional programming communities

    • Imperative programming is less attractive in a programmatic authoring context

  • Mixing fragments of markup and programs

    • Less powerful than a solution that involves a single linguistic framework

    • Aesthetically unpleasing

We have gone for inclusion of the less powerful language in the more powerful language
