Look at this:

Sure, Cheetah is cleaner than PSP, but it still mixes syntax elements with
text, and I really dislike it. If I want to generate any kind of text while
keeping Python syntax, I'll use Quixote's PTLs:

On the other hand, for XHTML templating, I prefer having hooks in
attributes, as Nevow and Zope's ZPT do:

You asked about my "path to world domination". Well, I guess I want
the whole world to be like the Oberlin CS Lab was: a sharing community
where people assume that improving the system is within anyone's reach.
