"So, as a thought experiment, imagine what it would be like to work with a single language that was general-purpose, but also excellent at describing data, especially the trees (HTML) and property lists (CSS) that make up web documents." You can accomplish this pretty effectively with a clojure/clojurescript stack, though it takes some work to get going and isn't perfectly seamless. Code-as-data seems really well suited to unifying the declarative and procedural. Personally, I love the ideas behind clojure, but I prefer the experience of writing coffeescript to clojurescript. I think it would be very cool to see you combine your penchant for pragmatism and nimble syntax with the solid engineering principles of functional languages.
