This is one of those areas where I find Python a little contradictory. About 50% of the time it's "explicit is better than implicit" and "there should be one and only one good way" and then the other half of the time it's "here's this cool feature for doing something you could do a different way that looks like hieroglyphics and nobody understands but you should totally use it because it's awesome!

Generating HTML always felt awkward for me in many languages. From PHP where you sprinkle PHP between HTML or HTML between PHP, to frameworks in various languages where you populate variables and HTML is magically generated.

Somewhere in between there are template languages.

"Dominate" uses Python itself as the template language - this means there never is that "disconnect" where you have to validate your output, neither is it that disconnect coming from generators, nor do you have to learn and use a separate template language. Dominate can look like this:

    return hr(), p(
        a(
            'Start',
            href = '/start'
        ),
        style = 'text-align: center;'
    )

For me it hit a sweet spot. Dominate uses kwargs. I discovered this and (a?)bused kwargs when I wanted to add some tags of my own.
