MillScript
MillScript is a full featured, yet easy to use language for the batch production of templated Web sites. The language is a Java-based, early implementation of Spice: an experimental language developed by the OpenSpice group. MillScript benefits from a carefully considered and consistent syntax that should be most beneficial to ocassional and cross-over programmers. Its features include multiple valued expressions, embedded XML tags, powerful for loops, a rich template system, lambda functions, closures, classes, and methods, regular expressions, and more.
