I think people should write HTML in HTML, CSS in CSS, Javascript in
Javascript, and Ruby in Ruby.

I don't get the fascination with DSLs for existing domains. DSLs for your
own stuff is okay, where you need something that is more complex than a
bunch of functions and less complex than a full blown language. But DSLs
for existing domains. Just write it in the target language already. If you
want to integrate with other stuff you can. If you want to switch platforms
you can and you don't have to throw awaw or rewrite a ton of stuff.
