It works, and does it well enough. There are many projects which look horrible in the code, but the fact is - they work. But, perhaps, you may suggest an ideal blog engine?

Sure, PHP is it's template > language, but it does separate the main code from the template code. That's where I see the mixture of language and templates. XML templates look horrible - but this is just a question of taste :) In some of my projects, I want to have code on pages, so I can transform and manipulate the data - because sometimes business logic fits perfectly into pages, not the application, especially when you don't have source for application and want to change/extend something. If someone would ever make D to work exactly like PHP or ASP does (I mean - integration into templates) - then it would be perfect for me. Yes, may be "horrible" (to you or some others) - but I'll be more productive than with DOM-XML templates :) /Alexander
