I don't think there are any 'shoulds', but people writing code (including markup) which other people might one day need to understand would be wise to make it comprehensible, and probably therefore in a recognisable, readable syntax... which I think is the essence of Markaby and its legacy :-)

I think people who want to write HTML in HTML should write HTML in HTML.

I think people who don't want to write HTML in HTML should write it in something they prefer.

Just my humble opinion.

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.

I tried to use that crazy stuff recently and it just doesn't work, in
