Python templating solutions are also broken. They mix markup and logic. You could do everything described in the slides and use something like Enlive instead which cleanly separates markup and presentation logic. Most of the fancy features in popular templating solutions is just function composition in Enlive. Being a competent Lisp, macros can take things to a whole other level.

83 and 85 are the least interesting slides. How could instance instantiation be made much more succinct than that?

Having developed web apps in Python (CherryPy, Django) a lot of boilerplate could be eliminated just by having access to macros.
