> ALL of them suck. ALL of them are incredibly hard to lint, test, get right. They scale badly. They're all awful. Hard disagree. Lisp family of languages have tree templates that are easy to lint, test and get right. They also scale as well as- or better than React. See: https://github.com/yokolet/hiccup-samples

For an example of what isomorphism+macros can do, here's what dynamic HTML generation looks like in Clojure: https://github.com/yokolet/hiccup-samples#recipe-4-form There's a small DSL (domain specific language) to learn and then you get to write HTML in completely legal data structures where the entire language is at your fingertips. Also, a simpler example: https://github.com/clojure-cookbook/clojure-cookbook/blob/ma...

What I think this is missing which was a huge part of the SICP course is that Lisp is probably the best language to write your own language in with a custom syntax tailored for the problem space you're working on. Even if it isn't trivial to do. An example is Clojure's Hiccup[0] where there's a whole new syntax for dynamic HTML generation. It's not a full new Turing-complete language, but it's a custom syntax and vocabulary that illustrates Lisp's extensibility (a sample of Hiccup in action is linked below, though it isn't mine.)
