Another awesome example of the lengths people will go to compensate for a lack of macros. I would so much rather see (define table (html-table (map [tr (td _)] rows))) then $table = ; foreach($rows as $row) { $table->appendChild( {$row} ); (assuming this is even possible?) }

I was just about to make this comment.

I think one of lisp's adoption problems is that it makes things that are just simply amazing become commonplace.
